Investigating the drainage system of a Himalayan debris-covered glacier / by Catriona Fyffe
Material type:
TextPublication details: 2019 Online resources: Full text available here Summary: Objectives:
Aim: To increase the understanding of the drainage system and proglacial runoff patterns of thickly debris-
covered Himalayan glaciers.
Objectives:
1.To determine the structure (channelized or distributed) and efficiency of each component of the glacier
drainage system.
2.Determine how the characteristics of the glacier drainage system and the resulting proglacial runoff
signal is influenced by the thickness and topography of the supraglacial debris cover.
Study was on Langtang Glacier. Location of Moromoto base camp next to glacier: 28° 14’ 37.02” N 85° 41’
58.98” E.
