Record #112080:

Effect of deformation on permeability / Garry K.C. Clarke, Tavi Murray.

Title: Effect of deformation on permeability / Garry K.C. Clarke, Tavi Murray.
Author(s): Clarke, Garry K. C.
Murray, Tavi.
Date: 1991.
In: Eos : transactions, American Geophysical Union. (1991.), Vol. 72(44, supplement) (1991)
Abstract: AGU Fall Meeting Program and Abstracts, December 9-13, 1991. Laboratory experiments suggest that deformation can result in 100-fold increase in permeability, and could have implications for glacier mechanics. Simple solution to analyze is that of layer of subglacial till overlying layer of permeable bedrock. If high pore-water pressure exists at ice-till contact, then water pressure will decrease with depth, reaching minimum at till-bedrock contact. If water pressure in uppermost till is high enough to induce sediment deformation, then associated increase in till permeability will cause zone of high water pressure to become thicker until most of till is pressurized and deforming.
