Characterization of the basal hydraulic system of a surge-type glacier : Trapridge Glacier, 1989-92
… hydrology is a critical issue in understanding glacier and ice-sheet dynamics. This is especially true for surge-type glaciers, which are distinguished by their regular, quasi-periodic alternation between slow and fast flow regimes (Meier and Post, 1969); the fast flow during a surge is thought …

Borehole Measurements of Dynamic Basal Drainage Adjustments During Sliding Accelerations: Bench Glacier, Alaska
… a commonly employed means of characterizing the glacier hydrologic system. Results documenting the influence of slug testing on a field of boreholes and its change with time, however, are scarce. Slug tests were performed on Bench Glacier, AK in 21 boreholes over three field seasons during an …

Investigating Volcanic and Glacial Processes Using Microseismicity
Volcanoes and glaciers can both pose a significant threat to life and property. Volcanoes can erupt suddenly, without warning, causing injury, death and damage to property. Glaciers generally present a hazard over longer timescales, melting or sliding into the oceans and contributing to sea-level …
