متن کاملIce-shelf tidal flexure and subglacial pressure variations
We develop a model of an ice shelf-ice stream system as a viscoelastic beam partially supported by an elastic foundation. When bedrock near the grounding line acts as a fulcrum, leverage from the ice shelf dropping at low tide can cause significant ð 1 cmÞ uplift in the first few kilometers of grounded ice. This uplift and the corresponding depression at high tide lead to basal pressure variati...

A comparison is made between the stability propertics of the norl-divergellt m d divclrgent one-pr:trnetc>r nlodels. It is show11 that the introduction o f divergcnce in the ow-pararnetcr rrlodol reduces t h o rate of growth of unstable disturbances arid confines the instability to a more narrow band of wavelengths.

متن کاملStress Redistribution Explains Anti-correlated Subglacial Pressure Variations
We used a finite element model to interpret anti-correlated pressure variations at the base of a glacier to demonstrate the importance of stress redistribution in the basal ice. We first investigated two pairs of load cells installed 20 m apart at the base of the 210 m thick Engabreen glacier in Northern Norway. The load cell data for July 2003 showed that pressurisation of a subglacial channel...
متن کاملSubseasonal changes observed in subglacial channel pressure, size, and sediment transport
Water that pressurizes the base of glaciers and ice sheets enhances glacier velocities and modulates glacial erosion. Predicting ice flow and erosion therefore requires knowledge of subglacial channel evolution, which remains observationally limited. Here we demonstrate that detailed analysis of seismic ground motion caused by subglacial water flow at Mendenhall Glacier (Alaska) allows for cont...
