Abstract Glaciers erode their beds and the adjacent landscape by abrasion and plucking and entraining sediment on their way downwards driven by gravity. Ice becomes a sediment transport agent. To determine glacial transport of sediment, measurements of both the ice flux and its concentration of sedi...
