Record #181564:

Suspended sediment transport in glacial meltwater during the initial quiescent phase after a major surge event at Kuannersuit Glacier, Greenland / Niels Tvis Knudsen, Jacob Clement Yde, Gry Gasser.

Title: Suspended sediment transport in glacial meltwater during the initial quiescent phase after a major surge event at Kuannersuit Glacier, Greenland / Niels Tvis Knudsen, Jacob Clement Yde, Gry Gasser.
Author(s): Knudsen, Niels Tvis.

Date: 2007.
In: Geografisk Tidsskrift. (2007.), Vol. 107(1) (2007)
Abstract: Presents study of suspended sediment transport in main meltwater stream leaving Kuannersuit Glacier, Disko island, based on measurements made during summers of 2000 and 2001 while drainage system was probably still developing after major surge in 1995-98. Presents catchment sediment flux estimates for 2001 (19,000 t/day) and earlier years. Suggests poor correlation between meltwater discharge and suspended sediment transport indicates highly unstable drainage system, affected on several occasions by collapse within glacial drainage system and at glacier margin. Estimates effective mechanical erosion to be about 15 mm/year. Discusses significance of sediment evacuation higher than that from other glaciers of region.
