INTERPRETATION OF RADIO-ECHO RETURNS FROM INTERNAL WATER BODIES IN VARIEGATED GLACIER
ADSTRACT. Radio echo-sounding studies were used to detect water-filled cavities on Variegated Glacier, Alaska, during its surge in 1983. Cavity locations were determined by spatial surveys, and changes in cavity size and water content over a 5 week period were inferred from phase and amplitude chang...
