Analysis and Synthesis of Glaciological Data

该奖项支持分析和解释 冰川学数据，主要来自格陵兰和阿拉斯加。 的 该项目将包括三个部分： 1)冰川相分析作为所有冰川的分类， 冰川 它将集中在融水的重要性 在雪中融化和冻结， 冰川的平衡以及相界可以 通过卫星和飞机来确定。 2)关于积雪的现有知识的综合， 格陵兰冰盖基于坑研究，雪和 冰芯和气象站 这将证明 地形对积雪分布的控制程度 积累 3)天山北坡山顶雪坑和岩芯资料分析。 阿拉斯加州兰格尔，1961年至1989年获得， 积雪地层学与现有气候学资料的关系

This award supports the analysis and intepretation of glaciological data, primarily from Greenland and Alaska. The project will consist of three parts: 1) The analysis of glacier facies as a classification for all glaciers. It will focus on the importance of meltwater percolating and freezing within snow to both the heat and mass balance of glaciers and the extent to which facies boundaries can be determined from satellites and aircraft. 2) A synthesis of existing knowledge about snow accumulation on the Greenland Ice Sheet based on data from pit studies, snow and ice cores, and meteorological stations. This will demonstrate the extent of orographic control on the distribution of snow accumulation. 3) An analysis of snow pit and core data from the summit of Mt. Wrangell, Alaska, obtained between 1961 and 1989 to define the snow stratigraphy's relation to avaialable climatological data.
