Record #104383:

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.
