Hydrologic control of sliding velocity in two Alaskan glaciers : observation and theory
Short term variations in the velocities of glaciers reflect changes in the processes which determine sliding velocity. The role of water in these processes is considered for certain types of variable behavior observed on two glaciers in Alaska. Pulses of increased velocity on Variegated Glacier (min...
