7 ©2010 Elsevier, Inc. 7 FIGURE 10.6 Crystal structure seen in a thin section of ice, of vertical orientation, from 2546m depth in the ice sheet, central Greenland. Width of each panel is about 10 cm. Right panel: Sketch showing the pattern of folded layering (solid lines) and the “stripe” of crystals with anomalous orientations (dashed lines). Left panel: Pattern of crystal orientations revealed by polarized light. Crystals are oriented favorably for shear deformation along the stripe. Adapted from Alley et al. (1997b) and used with permission from the American Geophysical Union, Journal of Geophysical Research.

Layer A has the highest viscosity and layer D the same viscosity as the matrix. Note that the “wavelength” increases as the viscosity contrast decreases. Adapted from Hambrey and Milnes (1975).

9 ©2010 Elsevier, Inc. 9 FIGURE 10.8 Variations of oxygen isotope composition with depth in the Greenland ice sheet, at two locations (GRIP, on the ice divide, and GISP2, 30 km to the west). The correspondence between the two records breaks down at depths greater than about 2700m. Symbols show where folds and dipping layers were observed in the 10 cm-diameter cores. Adapted from Alley et al. (1995b).

(a) Effect of shear stress exerted by valley walls only. (b) Shear stress and extending flow. (c) Shear stress and compressing flow. Adapted from Nye (1952a).
