Hydraulic transmissivity inferred from ice-sheet relaxation following Greenland supraglacial lake drainages

Abstract Surface meltwater reaching the base of the Greenland Ice Sheet transits through drainage networks, modulating the flow of the ice sheet. Dye and gas-tracing studies conducted in the western margin sector of the ice sheet have directly observed drainage efficiency to evolve seasonally along...
