Glacier surge mechanism: 1982-1983 surge of variegated glacier, alaska.
Barclay Kamb,Charles F. Raymond,William D. Harrison,Hermann Engelhardt,Keith A. Echelmeyer,Neil F. Humphrey,M. M. Brugman,T. Pfeffer +7 more
TL;DR: The behavior of the glacier in surge has many remarkable features, which can provide clues to a detailed theory of the surging process and is akin to a proposed mechanism of overthrust faulting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical Conditions at the Base of a Fast Moving Antarctic Ice Stream
TL;DR: Boreholes drilled to the bottom of ice stream B in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet reveal that the base of the ice stream is at the melting point and the basal water pressure is within about 1.6 bars of theIce overburden pressure, allowing the rapid ice streaming motion to occur by basal sliding or by shear deformation of unconsolidated sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical weathering in glacial environments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that catchments occupied by active alpine glaciers yield cation denudation rates greater than the global mean rate but do not exceed rates in nonglacial catchments with similar water discharge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrology, erosion and sediment production in a surging glacier: Variegated glacier, Alaska, 1982-83
TL;DR: In this paper, measurements of discharge, suspended sediment and dissolved load in the outlet streams of Variegated Glacier, Alaska, U.S.A., were observed before, during and after the surge of 1982-83.
Construction of sediment budgets for drainage basins
TL;DR: In this article, Dietrich et al. proposed a method to construct a sediment budget for a drainage basin by integrating the temporal and spatial variations of transport and storage processes and identifying linkages among transport processes and storage elements.
