Description
Summary:Part I, 'Morphology and Structure of an Ice-Cored Medial Moraine, Kaskawulsh Glacier, Yukon,' describes morphological and lithological characteristics of a medial moraine and their relationship to ablation and flow processes on Kaskawulsh Glacier. Part II, 'Channel Adjustments and Supraglacial Streams,' describes the seasonal evolution of a supraglacial stream in terms of stream morphology and energy exchanges on the Capps Glacier. Part III, 'Supraglacial Streams on the Kaskawulsh Glacier, Yukon Territory,' classifies supraglacial streams on the Kaskawulsh Glacier in relation to structure, morphology, bet material, and seasonal processes.
