Record #86042:

Glacier surge mechanism based on linked cavity configuration of the basal water conduit system / W. Barclay Kamb.

Title: Glacier surge mechanism based on linked cavity configuration of the basal water conduit system / W. Barclay Kamb.
Author(s): Kamb, W. Barclay.
Date: 1987.
In: Journal of Geophysical Research. (1987.), Vol. 92(B9) (1987)
Abstract: Paper presented at Chapman Conference on Fast Glacier Flow: Ice Streams, Surging, and Tidewater Glaciers, held at Whistler Village, BC, Canada, 4-8 May 1986. Presents physical model of mechanism of surge of Variegated Glacier, Alaska, based on detailed field observations made in 1982-83. Concentrates on surging in spring and summer, when relatively large amounts of water are available to basal conduit system.
Notes:
