Seismic observations of transient subglacial water-flow beneath MacAyeal Ice Stream, West Antarctica
[1] New seismic observations of harmonic tremors beneath MacAyeal Ice Stream, West Antarctica are reported. Each of the two tremor events that we recorded during a six week period had sustained arrival of 3 Hz energy for approximately 10 minutes. During that time the source location migrated a few kilometers. The harmonic nature of the tremors is interpreted as the result of resonance in subgla...
متن کاملRerouting of subglacial water flow between neighboring glaciers in West Greenland
Investigations of the Greenland ice sheet’s subglacial hydrological system show that the connectivity of different regions of the system influences how the glacier velocity responds to variations in surface melting. Here we examine whether subglacial water flow paths can be rerouted beneath three outlet glaciers in the ablation zone of western Greenland. We use Lamont-Doherty and Center for Rem...
متن کاملCreep closure of channels in deforming subglacial till
We examine theoretically the creep closure of subglacial tunnels cut into basal till, generalizing Nye's classical analysis of tunnel closure in glacier ice to rheologies in which the creep rate depends on effective pressure (the difference between total pressure and pore-water pressure). The solutions depend critically on a dimensionless permeability parameter. For the appealingly simple Boult...
متن کاملSediment behavior controls equilibrium width of subglacial channels
Flow-frictional resistance at the base of glaciers and ice sheets is strongly linked to subglacial water pressure. Understanding the physical mechanisms that govern meltwater fluxes in subglacial channels is hence critical for constraining variations in ice flow. Previous mathematical descriptions of softbed subglacial channels assume a viscous till rheology, which is inconsistent with laborato...
متن کاملAnalysis of Transient Flow in the Case of Secondary Injection for Transient Vector Control (RESEARCH NOTE)
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the flow field structure in transient state and performance of secondary injection system for thrust vectoring in divergent section of a two-dimensional nozzle. Secondary injection for thrust vectoring in a two-dimensional nozzle is studied by solving three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged equations by means of fluent solver. Spalart-allmaras model was used ...
