Weather data during the 2016 melt season at Taku Glacier, Alaska.
Subglacial water discharge exerts an important control on the speed of glacier flow, among other important processes. The amount of subglacial water discharge and the structure of the subglacial drainage system through which is passes vary on hourly to seasonal timescales. However, understanding the...

Subglacial water discharge exerts an important control on the speed of glacier flow, among other important processes. The amount of subglacial water discharge and the structure of the subglacial drainage system through which is passes vary on hourly to seasonal timescales. However, understanding these important characteristics of subglacial water drainage is hindered by the inaccessibility of the glacier bed. In 2016, seismic and weather data were collected from around Taku Glacier, Alaska, to reveal the structure and evolution of the subglacial drainage system. This study is reported in: Vore, M. E., T. C. Bartholomaus, J. P. Winberry, J. I. Walter, and J. M.
