| Abstract | The investigators explore how meltwater from surface channels called moulins (holes in the ice that funnel water downward) affects the hidden drainage system beneath Greenland’s glaciers. They will conduct a field study to see how water connects isolated pockets of space at the glacier’s base with larger drainage networks and how these connections influence seasonal changes in ice speed. The team will use tools like seismic sensors, radar, and measurements of ice movement to track how these syst |
