Modelling the transfer of supraglacial meltwater to the bed of Leverett Glacier, Southwest Greenland
Meltwater delivered to the bed of the Greenland Ice Sheet is a driver of variable ice-motion through changes in effective pressure and enhanced basal lubrication. Ice surface velocities have been shown to respond rapidly both to meltwater production at the surface and to drainage of supraglacial lak...
