University of Iceland was a partner in the EU project Ice2sea. Amongst results is a better constrain on potential sea level rise. Our contribution was regarding sliding of glaciers, as explained on the poster below.
We have developed a method where the changes in water flux reaching the bed determine the efficiency of the water system to transport water. In very short terms, sudden pulses of water have greater effect on the sliding velocity than “normal” variations, such as diurnal variation during summer.
