New Research Demonstrates the Impact of Sediment and Meltwater on Glacier Movement
New research by UCM's Dr. Sally Zellers working with Dr. Ellen Cowan, of Appalachian State University, demonstrated the impact of sediment and meltwater on the movement of glaciers. This research was published in the article titled, "Sediment controls dynamic behavior of a Cordilleran Ice Stream at the Last Glacial Maximum," in the April 2020 edition of the journal, Nature Communications.
