In search of ice-stream sticky spots / Richard B. Alley.
Title: | In search of ice-stream sticky spots / Richard B. Alley. |
Author(s): | Alley, Richard B. |
Date: | 1993. |
In: | Journal of Glaciology. (1993.), Vol. 39(133) (1993) |
Abstract: | Surveys of large-scale bed roughness would identify sticky spots caused by bedrock bumps, water-pressure measurements in regions of thin or zero till might reveal whether they were sticky spots, and strain grids across margins of ice-surface highs would show whether highs were causing sticky spots. Sticky spots probably are not dominant in controlling Ice Stream B near Upstream B camp, west Antarctica. |
