Welcome to the home of the Debris Transport in Glaciers Working Group
Aims
The Debris Transport in Glaciers Working Group has been established under the auspices of the Commission for the Cryospheric Sciences (a Commission of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics).
The principal aims of the Working Group are:
- to promote dialogue between researchers in the fields of glacier dynamics, contemporary glacial processes, glacial sedimentology and ice sheet modellers; and
- to apply a multidisciplinary approach to
- enhance our understanding of debris entrainment and transfer in glaciers, and subsequent deposition at contemporary ice margins; and
- to use this knowledge to constrain numerical models of contemporary and former ice masses.
