Subglacial decoupling at the sediment/bedrock interface: a new mechanism for rapid flowing ice
Abstract in UndeterminedOn millennial or even centennial time scales, the activity of rapid flowing ice can affect climate variability and global sea level through release of meltwater into the ocean and positive feedback loops to the climate system. At the surge-type glacier Bruarjokull, an outlet...
