Channelized, distributed, and disconnected: subglacial drainage under a valley glacier in the Yukon
<p>The subglacial drainage system is one of the main controls on basal sliding, but remains only partially understood. Here we use an 8-year dataset of borehole observations on a small, alpine polythermal valley glacier in the Yukon Territory to assess qualitatively how well the established...
