A Unified Blister and Subglacial Hydrology Framework for Supraglacial Lake Drainage Events
Hanwen Zhang, Laura A. Stevens, Ian J. Hewitt +1
Subglacial blisters form due to the rapid drainage of supraglacial lakes into grounded ice sheets, and are characterised by elastic ice uplift and transient ice-velocity anomalies.…
