Improvement and Validation of Glacier Dynamic Models: A Collaborative Study

 
Investigator(s): Neil Humphrey (PI)
Sponsor: University of Wyoming, WY 82071 3077665320
Start Date/Expiration Date 1992-07-15 to 1997-06-30 (amended 1995-09-27)
Awarded Amount to Date: $208,936
Abstract: This award is for support of a three year collaborative program between the University of Colorado, Boulder and the University of Wyoming, Laramie to improve and validate glacier dynamic models. An isothermal, active glacier will be selected and the surface, englacial, and basal velocity field will be determined on a 3-D array of points over the glacier. These results will be used to test an improved top-down model, to compare top-down and bottom- up models, and to define further the constitutive law and sliding relations.
