Modelling distributed and channelized subglacial drainage: The spacing of channels

Models are proposed for channelized and distributed flow of meltwater at the base of an ice sheet. The volumes of both channel and distributed systems evolve according to a competition between processes that open drainage space (e.g. sliding over bedrock,melting of the ice) and processes that close...
