Further Investigation of Ice-Proximal Glacimarine Sedimentation Processes, Glacier Bay, Alaska

该奖项是为了表彰对阿拉斯加冰川湾（靠近潮汐冰川终点）沉积物沉积过程的持续研究。（它是由史密斯博士提交的DPP 8618789的配套提案。）在过去的两年中，在里格斯和麦克布赖德冰川的末端附近对这些过程进行了研究。该研究现在将扩展到：(1)Muir冰川，一个类似于McBride的潮汐冰川，但面对一个不太受限制的盆地，在那里将调查细层状沉积物的分布和起源，以及与冰川距离的沉积速率；(2)wusett盆地，一个受限制的盆地

This award is for continued study of sediment deposition proceses in Glacier Bay, Alaska, near the termini of tidewater glaciers. (Its is a companion proposal to DPP 8618789, submitted by Dr. N. Smith.) During the past two years these processes have been investigated near the termini of Riggs and McBride Glaciers. The study will now be extended to: (1) Muir Glacier, a tidewater glacier similar to McBride but fronting a less restricted basin, where the distribution and origin of fine laminated sediments as well as sedimentation rates versus distance from the glacier will be investigated, (2) Wachusett basin, a restricted basin fronting
