Rock Coating and Weathering-Rind Development at the Edge of Retreating Glaciers: An Initial Study

Abstract: Six different electron microscope techniques imaged and analyzed boulder and bedrock surfaces with glacially polished textures collected from the margins of the Athabasca Glacier in Canada, Bunger Oasis of Antarctica, Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand, a Greenland outlet glacier, the Ngozumpa Glacier in Nepal, and the Middle Palisade Glacier in California. The purpose of this pilot investigation involves developing a better understanding of both rock decay and rock coating development at the edge of retreatin… Show more

“…(iv) I have not found the same correlation between varnish type and climate as Macholdt et al (2017). For example, their Type I occurs in Antarctica (Dorn et al, 1992), Greenland (Dorn and Jeong, 2018), Mediterranean climate of Southern California (Dorn, 2019), and along the Orinoco River where von Humboldt initiated the scholarly study of rock varnish (Dorn et al, 2012b; Von Humboldt, 1812).…”
