IUGG XXIV General Assembly, Perugia, Italy, 2-13 July, 2007

Session JHS001: 'Debris Transport in Glaciers'

The aim of this session is to apply a multidisciplinary approach to (i) enhance our understanding of debris entrainment and transfer in glaciers, and subsequent deposition at contemporary ice margins, and (ii) to use this knowledge to constrain numerical models of contemporary and former ice masses. The principal themes will be: the disposition of debris within glaciers (particularly in relation to structure), contemporary glacial depositional processes, and numerical modelling of glacial depositional systems.
