   • 2008, A Geophysical Investigation of Large-scale Glaciotectonic Deformation, →ISBN:

     Little glaciotectonic research was performed in North America until the latter part of the 1950s, due in part to the relatively low number of glacial scientists and the significantly larger and less developed area to study.

   • 2011, Vijay P. Singh, Pratap Singh, Umesh K. Haritashya, Encyclopedia of Snow, Ice and Glaciers, →ISBN, page 458:

     Glaciotectonic structures and landforms were created throughout zones of former and modern glaciation as a result of glacier loading and movement on the crust.
