9319872 Fleischer This award is for support of a Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) to document and analyze a surge, which is in progress, on the Bering Glacier in Alaska. Surging is defined as periodic, very rapid movements of large quantities of ice within a glacier, alternating with much longer periods of near stagnation. The Bering Glacier is the longest (191 kilometers) and largest (5,173.5 square kilometers) glacier in North America. This work is part of an on-going program of the Bering Glacier Research Group (BERG) and will involve state-of-the-art, continuous-recording, ice penetrating radar measurements of ice thickness. The results of this work should help in the understanding of the role of subglacial water in the surge mechanism. ***

9319872 Fleischer该奖项是为了支持探索性研究（SGER）的小额赠款，以记录和分析阿拉斯加白令冰川正在进行的激增。 涌动被定义为冰川内大量冰的周期性、非常快速的运动，与更长时间的接近停滞交替。 白令冰川是北美最长（191公里）和最大（5，173.5平方公里）的冰川。 这项工作是白令冰川研究小组（贝格）正在进行的计划的一部分，将涉及最先进的，连续记录，冰穿透雷达测量冰的厚度。 这项工作的结果应有助于了解冰下水的浪涌机制中的作用。 ***
