Dynamics of Suubglacier Water Routing and Characterization of the Basal Hydraulic System

该奖项是对一个项目的支持，该项目旨在连续两年测量非涌浪型冰川下的冰下水压、浊度、电导率和水流速度。测量将直接在冰川床上具有已知轨迹的钻孔中进行。收集的数据将用于测试和改进现有的冰下排水理论，并构建和验证基础水文学的一般模型。

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.
