Taku Glacier Dynamics

Project Details

Keywords: Taku Glacier, erosion, landscape
Student Investigator:
Carrie Amott
Faculty Mentor: Jason M. Amundson, Ph.D.

Abstract

My goal is to aid Dr. Jason Amundson in combining geomorphic concepts and glaciology through a study of the overdeepened bed features in the Taku Glacier system. We will obtain data that can be applied toward the purpose of gaining more comprehensive knowledge about glacial advance. With this new information, we hope to invoke a better understanding of the feedback between erosion, landscape formation, and the fundamentals of ice in motion.
