In July 2016 we collected simultaneous field measurements of supraglacial river discharge and localized ice motion on the southwest Greenland Ice Sheet ablation zone. The measurements were obtained upstream of a major moulin, enabling study of how supraglacial meltwater runoff influences subglacial...
