Evaluation of Processes at Polar Glacier Grounding-Lines to Constrain Glaciological and Oceanographic Models

该奖项旨在支持一个项目，该项目旨在评估极地冰川接地线上发生的过程，以约束冰川学和海洋学模型。一个远程操作潜水器（ROV）将被用来帮助获取数据。该项目将审查从冰川释放碎片及其在近冰海洋环境中扩散所涉及的物理过程。将对沉积过程、地表沉积相和生物群落进行研究，以提高对更古老的冰川沉积相的解释。

This award is for support of a project to evaluate processes occurring at the grounding line of polar glaciers in order to constrain both glaciological and oceanographic models. A Remotely- Operated Submersible Vehicle (ROV) will be used to help obtain the data. The project will examine the physical processes involved in the release of debris from the glacier and its dispersal in the ice-proximal marine environment. Sedimentary processes, surface sedimentary facies, and biological communities will be studied to improve interpretation of older glacial sedimentary facies.
