  2. Glacial motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacial_motion

    Glacial lakes have been rapidly forming on the surface of the debris-covered glaciers in this region during the last few decades. USGS researchers have found a strong correlation between increasing temperatures and glacial retreat in this region. Glacial motion is the motion of glaciers, which can be likened to rivers of ice. It has played an ...

  3. Basal sliding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_sliding

    Basal sliding is the act of a glacier sliding over the bed due to meltwater under the ice acting as a lubricant.This movement very much depends on the temperature of the area, the slope of the glacier, the bed roughness, the amount of meltwater from the glacier, and the glacier's size.

  6. Subglacial stream - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subglacial_stream

    Subglacial streams are conduits of glacial meltwater that flow at the base of glaciers and ice caps. [1] Meltwater from the glacial surface travels downward throughout the glacier, forming an englacial drainage system consisting of a network of passages that eventually reach the bedrock below, where they form subglacial streams. [1]

  8. Jakobshavn Glacier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobshavn_Glacier

    Examination of rapid supra-glacial lake drainage documented short term velocity changes due to such events, but they had little significance to the annual flow of the large outlet glaciers. [ 18 ] The second mechanism is a "Jakobshavn effect", coined by Terry Hughes, [ 27 ] where a small imbalance of forces caused by some perturbation can cause ...
