Further Investigation of Ice-Proximal Glacimarine Sedimentation Processes, Glacier Bay, Alaska

该奖项是对阿拉斯加冰川湾潮水冰川末端附近的沉积物沉积过程的持续研究。(它是民进党8618789的配套提案，由N·史密斯博士提交。)在过去的两年里，人们在里格斯冰川和麦克布莱德冰川的末端附近研究了这些过程。这项研究现在将扩展到：(1)缪尔冰川，这是一种潮水冰川，类似于麦克布莱德，但面临着一个限制较少的盆地，将在那里调查细小层状沉积物的分布和来源，以及沉积速率与冰川距离的关系；(2)沃丘塞特盆地，一种受限的盆地前缘

This award is for continued study of sediment deposition proceses in Glacier Bay, Alaska, near the termini of tidewater glaciers. (Its is a companion proposal to DPP 8618789, submitted by Dr. N. Smith.) During the past two years these processes have been investigated near the termini of Riggs and McBride Glaciers. The study will now be extended to: (1) Muir Glacier, a tidewater glacier similar to McBride but fronting a less restricted basin, where the distribution and origin of fine laminated sediments as well as sedimentation rates versus distance from the glacier will be investigated, (2) Wachusett basin, a restricted basin fronting
