This award is for support of a project to measure subglacial water pressure, turbidity, electrical conductivity, and flow velocity beneath a non-surge type glacier for a continuous period lasting two full years. Measurements will be made directly at the glacier bed in boreholes having known trajectories. The data that is collected will be used to test and refine existing theories of subglacial drainage, and to construct and verify a generalized model of basal hydrology.

该奖项旨在支持一个项目，该项目将在连续两年的时间内测量冰川下的水压力、浊度、电导率和流速。测量将在已知轨迹的钻孔中直接在冰川床上进行。收集的数据将用于测试和完善现有的冰下排水理论，并构建和验证基础水文的广义模型。
