MARC recordSeismic reflection evidence for a deep subglacial trough beneath Jakobshavns Isbrae, West Greenland / Ted S. Clarke, Keith Echelmeyer.
| Title: | Seismic reflection evidence for a deep subglacial trough beneath Jakobshavns Isbrae, West Greenland / Ted S. Clarke, Keith Echelmeyer. |
| Author(s): | Clarke, Ted S. Echelmeyer, Keith. |
| Date: | 1996. |
| In: | Journal of Glaciology. (1996.), Vol. 42(141) (1996) |
| Abstract: | Reflection methods were used to determine ice thickness and basal topography of Isbrae, large, fast-moving outlet glacier. Data analysis method yields depth, position and slope of basal reflector from linear seismic array and single explosive source. Deep U-shaped trough was found under entire glacier, incised up to 1500 m into bedrock and 1200 m below sea level for 70 km. Centre-line thickness of ice was 2500 m, about 2.5 times that of ice sheet. There is high basal shear stress along glacier, with internal deformation playing dominant role. |
