The geomorphic imprint of glacier surges into open-marine waters: Examples from eastern Svalbard ...
Seafloor morphology beyond nine tidewater glaciers terminating in open-marine settings in eastern Svalbard has been investigated using multibeam swath-bathymetry. Historical information on tidewater glacier fluctuations over the past century or so shows that the seafloor offshore has been exposed on...
