Characterization of the basal hydraulic system of a surge-type glacier : Trapridge Glacier, 1989-92
Subglacial hydrology is a critical issue in understanding glacier and ice-sheet dynamics. This is especially true for surge-type glaciers, which are distinguished by their regular, quasi-periodic alternation between slow and fast flow regimes (Meier and Post, 1969); the fast flow during a surge is t...
