Glacier surge mechanism: 1982-1983 surge of variegated glacier, alaska.
The hundredfold speedup in glacier motion in a surge of the kind the kind that took place in Variegated Glacier in 1982-1983 is caused by the buildup of high water pressure in the basal passageway system, which is made possible by a fundamental and pervasive change in the geometry and water-transport characteristics of this system. The behavior of the glacier in surge has many remarkable featur...
متن کاملStructural control of englacial conduits in the temperate Matanuska Glacier, Alaska, USA
Fourteen englacial conduits were mapped within 2 km of the terminus of the temperate Matanuska Glacier, Alaska, USA, to ice depths of 65m using speleological techniques. Detailed threedimensional maps of the conduits were made over 3 years to characterize conduit relationships with glacier structural features and to track conduit evolution through time. All conduits consisted of single unbranch...
متن کاملRadio Echo Sounding of the Greenland Inland Ice
Radio echo sounding has been used for a number of years in the exploration of polar ice such as the inland ice in Greenland and Antarc tica. By means of this technique a number of important glaciological and geophysical parameters may be deter mined. Examples are ice thickness, bedrock topography and structure, stratification patterns which are used for climate and flow patterns studies, and ...
متن کاملStudies of englacial water in Storglaciären using GPR - year two
This report describes the activities and preliminary findings of the second year of our project on Storglaciären during the summer of 2002. Ice penetrating radar studies were used together with borehole video and other down-hole experiments to investigate englacial water flow. The radar surveys together with the borehole experiments suggest a new model for englacial drainage, wherein crevasse-l...
متن کاملThe Internal Structure of a Cirque Glacier Report on Studies of the Englacial Movements
This report is of a preliminary nature; detailed analyses are being carried on at the present time. The tunnel project on a small cirque glacier in the Jotunheim area of Norway, made possible observations of englacial movements in August and December of 1951 which are correlated with surface movements. Emphasis was placed on detailed three-dimensional studies. A marked divergence of flow lines ...
