Contributions to the glaciology of the Seward Ice Field, Canada, and the Malaspina Glacier, Alaska

Certain phenomena of the Seward Ice Field and the Malspina Glacier as observed in the summer of 1948 are interpreted in the light of glaciologic literature. Inferences on glacier regimen are drawn from accumulation and ablation measurements. The efficacy of the ablation factors is discussed and...
