Correlations of suspended sediment size with bedrock lithology and glacier dynamics

Correlations of suspended sediment size with bedrock lithology and glacier dynamics

The hypothesized link between glacier surging and bedrock geology motivates this study of the suspended sediment size distributions (SSSD) from surge-type and non-surge-type glaciers. We analyze SSSDs from proglacial streams in 20 individual basins comprising various fractions of metasedimentary (MS...
