Consolidation of sediments by glaciers: relations between sediment geotechnics, soft-bed glacier dynamics and subglacial ground-water flow / Geoffrey S. Boulton, K.E. Dobbie.
Title: | Consolidation of sediments by glaciers: relations between sediment geotechnics, soft-bed glacier dynamics and subglacial ground-water flow / Geoffrey S. Boulton, K.E. Dobbie. |
Author(s): | Boulton, Geoffrey S. Dobbie, K. E. |
Date: | 1993. |
In: | Journal of Glaciology. (1993.), Vol. 39(131) (1993) |
Abstract: | Develops theory of subglacial consolidation which shows how meltwater flux beneath glacier leaves consolidation signature from which many properties concerned with glacier dynamics can be inferred. Conditions in which water is discharged through channels or in thin film at ice--bed interface or by groundwater flow are discussed, and it is concluded that glaciers flowing over aquifers of high transmissibility can induce deep circulation patterns quite different from non-glacial circulation. Examples from Netherlands and England are used to illustrate how these patterns may be inferred, including deformation of till and large-scale patterns of subglacial water flow. |
