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: | Journal of Geophysical Research. Vol. 92(B9) :9083-9100 (1987). |
