Session 1E Surging Glaciers and Climate Change

Glaciers make up a large fraction of the cryosphere, yet with a warming planet – how exactly will the dynamics of these massive land systems react? The dynamics of surging glaciers might be able to give scientists a better answer to that. Glaciers tend to surge when there is excess meltwater at the...

The dynamics of surging glaciers might be able to give scientists a better answer to that. Glaciers tend to surge when there is excess meltwater at the base, causing the masses to act in a volatile way. Being able to identify surging glaciers through geomorphological mapping is essential to studying the behavior of these land systems. A geomorphological map of the landscape of the Gandbreen glacier – Svalbard, Norway, provides spatial evidence of previous surging events.
