Channel systems and sediment plumes from a Canadian Arctic ice cap: observations and modelling / M.L. Geddes-Barton.
Title: | Channel systems and sediment plumes from a Canadian Arctic ice cap: observations and modelling / M.L. Geddes-Barton. |
Author(s): | Geddes-Barton, M. L. |
Date: | 2011. |
Abstract: | Compares subglacial drainage of Devon Island Ice Cap predicted by hydraulic potential surface and flow routing model with satellite-observed locations of ice-marginal meltwater plumes (visible at ocean surface by virtue of relative buoyancy and suspended sediment content). Also investigates spatial and temporal variations in ice cap drainage structure. Summarizes current understanding of glacier hydrology and behaviour of turbid meltwater plumes. Analyzes plume behaviour in context of observed melt season temperatures and surface drainage, models of seasonal ice-surface melt patterns, maps of ice-cap bed and surface topography, and results of numerical model of subglacial hydrology. |
Notes: | Dissertation submitted for degree of Master of Philosophy, University of Cambridge. |
