Mechanisms for upstream migration of firn aquifer drainage: preliminary observations from Helheim Glacier, Greenland
Surface meltwater can influence subglacial hydrology and ice dynamics if it reaches ice sheet's base. Firn aquifers store meltwater and drain into wide crevasses marking the aquifer's downstream boundary, indicating water from firn aquifers can drive hydrofracture to establish surface-to-b...
