Why Is John Nye Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, John Frederick Nye was a British physicist and glaciologist. He was the first to apply plasticity to understand glacier flow. Career His early work was on the physics of plasticity, spanning ice rheology, ice flow mechanics, laboratory ice flow measurements, glacier surges, meltwater penetration in ice, and response of glaciers and ice sheets to seasonal and climatic changes. Later in his long career, he worked extensively in optics, publishing his last paper on electromagnetic wave polarization only a few days before his death.
