Modelling the subglacial hydrology of the former Barents Sea Ice Sheet
Gudlaugsson, Eythor (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2015-12-01)Ice dynamics are strongly controlled by processes taking place at the interface between the ice and the underlying bed. In modern day ice sheets, up to 90% of mass is lost through fast-flowing corridors of ice, called ice streams. These are typically underlain by a thin layer of water and wet sediment, both of which promote fast flow. In recent years it has emerged that subglacial hydrology played ...
