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

该奖项是对一个项目的支持，该项目旨在评估极地冰川接地线上发生的过程，以限制冰川学和海洋学模型。将使用遥控潜水器(ROV)来帮助获取数据。该项目将审查从冰川释放碎片及其在靠近冰层的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，以改进对古老冰川沉积相的解释。

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.
