Debris-Influenced Sliding Laws and Basal Debris Balance

Abstract In order to determine the effect of basal debris drag as a component in a sliding law, it is necessary to know the basal debris concentration. Does, for example, this debris concentration exhibit uniformity, in an average sense, across a valley? What effect does a localized region of high q...
