Grounding-line systems as second-order controls on fluctuations of tidewater termini of temperate glaciers / Ross D. Powell.
Title: | Grounding-line systems as second-order controls on fluctuations of tidewater termini of temperate glaciers / Ross D. Powell. |
Author(s): | Powell, Ross D. |
Date: | 1991. |
Publisher: | Boulder, CO: Geological Society of America |
In: | Glacial marine sedimentation; paleoclimatic significance. (1991.), |
Abstract: | Climate is first-order control, but deposition of grounding-line systems, which include ice-contact deltas, morainal banks, and grounding-line fans, can change relative water depth and consequently alter stability of tidewater termini independent of climate. Therefore, rate at which sediment accumulates in these systems can control rate of terminus movement. Studies carried out in Glacier Bay, AK. |
