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.

这个奖项是为了支持一个项目，以评估过程 发生在极地冰川的接地线上， 限制了冰川学和海洋学模型。 一个遥远的-- 操作潜水器（Operated Submersible Vehicle）将用于帮助获得 数据 该项目将研究涉及的物理过程， 冰川碎片的释放及其在 近冰海洋环境。 沉积过程，表面 沉积相和生物群落将被研究， 更古老冰川沉积相解释。
