Does anyone have any links to online textbooks/helpful websites for those collegiate stuff. Like not just the terms but the science and math that's involved.

Thanks.

I just got a college level glaciology textbook and am currently working my way through it. Amazing how much math is in there! I probably should have gone through a college level physical geology book first, but the only one I had only had one short chapter on glaciers which I read through in about one day.

Looking forward to this event!
Oh, and I just found out what randkluft is. Thanks, fullmetalmaple, for reminding me!
How about Eyjafjallajökull?
Isn't that a volcano?
What's the book you're using? I tried finding collegiate resources for this event; I know the University of Calgary has a fairly extensive glaciology program, but the site is hard to navigate.

And haha, no problem.

I just got it online. I wouldn't really recommend it though... it's got differential equations in chapter 4(!)
Unless of course, you know differentials

"Eyjafjallajökull" refers to the ice cap, the volcano, and\or the entire ice-capped volcano complex (interestingly enough, in French, the volcano has a different name). I meant the ice cap, which has many outlet glaciers. Sorry for the confusion.

Eh, I know differentials. I might go on my own hunt for books, though.

I found a bunch of previews on Google Books. Never knew or expected so many mathematics in glaciers.

Are there going to be topo maps in glaciers?

Ugh, I hate maps

Every time someone says they hate maps, I twitch a little bit.

Hey fossil: "Topos... *shiver*"

Edit: and East do you like maps?
