A surge of Bualter glacier, Karakoram Range, Pakistan: a possible landslide trigger / James S. Gardner, Kenneth Hewitt.
Title: | A surge of Bualter glacier, Karakoram Range, Pakistan: a possible landslide trigger / James S. Gardner, Kenneth Hewitt. |
Author(s): | Gardner, James S. Hewitt, Kenneth. |
Date: | 1990. |
In: | Journal of Glaciology. (1990.), Vol. 36(123) (1990) |
Abstract: | Surge during spring and early summer of 1987 followed major episode of three landslides which impacted part of ablation zone on 30-31 July 1986. In May 1987, surface velocities of 7 m d⁻¹ were measured where, in 1986, velocities were order of magnitude less. Surface and hydrological characteristics in and down-glacier from landslide deposit were also indicative of surge-like behaviour in 1987 and return to pre-surge conditions by 1988. |
