Isotopic Fractionation at the Base of Polar and Sub-Polar Glaciers
Abstract The melting of ice and the subsequent production of regelation ice from the melt water in a large-scale closed system beneath sub-polar and polar glaciers produces progressive fractionation between the melt water and the regelation ice derived from it. A theory is developed which predicts t...
