Basal-crevasse-fill origin of laminated debris bands at Matanuska Glacier, Alaska, U.S.A / Staci L. Ensminger, Richard B. Alley, Edward B. Evenson, Daniel E. Lawson, Grahame J. Larson.

Title: Basal-crevasse-fill origin of laminated debris bands at Matanuska Glacier, Alaska, U.S.A / Staci L. Ensminger, Richard B. Alley, Edward B. Evenson, Daniel E. Lawson, Grahame J. Larson.

Date: 2001.
In: Journal of Glaciology. (2001.), Vol. 47(158) (2001)
Abstract: Discusses formation mechanisms for debris bands in glacier. Describes sampling of four laminated debris bands and adjacent englacial ice near the margin of Matanuska Glacier and subsequent analysis. Describes field relations and sediment characteristics. Reports ice- isotopic ratios (δ¹⁸O and δD) and composition (³H) and ice petrofabrics in and adjacent to debris bands. Reports debris bands significantly enriched in anthropogenic (³H) compared to adjacent englacial ice. Debris lacks coarse clasts associated with shearing or folding into the ice or squeezing/creep of till into large basal crevasses, but is similar to suspended load of subglacial discharge and of ice grown from supercooling of discharge. Concludes that common debris bands of Matanuska Glacier were formed by injection of turbid basal waters into basal crevasses.
