The geology of Powell, Christoffersen and Michelsen Islands, South Orkney Islands

Thomson, Janet W.. 1973 The geology of Powell, Christoffersen and Michelsen Islands, South Orkney Islands. British Antarctic Survey Bulletin, 33/34. 137-167.

Abstract
Available measurements of creep rates and dimensions of ice shelves are used, in conjunction with equations derived in a companion paper (Thomas, 1973), to evaluate the flow law parameters B and n for stresses down to 104 N m−2. The results show good agreement with laboratory work at higher stresses. Adoption of these values of B and n enables us to examine the restraining effects on an ice shelf of obstructions such as areas of grounding.
