Some aspects of glaciological research

Abstract

The following brief comments make no pretence at providing a complete survey of desirable research in glaciology. The aim is rather to "sign post" the beginnings of trails that might be followed by interested workers. These investigators must themselves become well informed on the basic principles, so they can independently evaluate the desirability of a specific program and determine the best means of carrying it forth. No one can or should try to tell someone else how to tackle a research problem. They can only indicate some of the areas that appear worthy of consideration, and that is the objective here.
