Morphometry of Landforms: Drumlins

Abstract

Lengths, widths, heights, and asymmetries of 55 drumlins in Massachusetts, New York, and southern Germany are derived from 46 miles of traverse. Slope gradients and lengths were measured in the field as a basis for quantitative description of a glacial landform significant to military operations and materiel.
