The proposed program for glacial hydrology and ice dynamics will use innovative and interdisciplinary techniques to address pressing questions about the future of the world¿s ice masses in a changing climate. Basal hydrology is a first order control on ice flow and therefore directly related to rising sea levels. The proposed research spans various spatial scales: data collection assessing basal processes of glaciers in the Yukon Territory will feed into larger-scale modeling of Greenland and the Antarctic. The latter will examine impacts of basal hydrology in fast flowing ice streams along with ice interactions between the ocean and ice sheets.

拟议的冰川水文学和冰动力学计划将使用创新和跨学科技术来解决有关世界未来的紧迫问题。气候变化中的冰块水文是对冰流的一级控制，因此与海平面上升直接相关：评估育空地区冰川基础过程的数据收集将提供更大的数据。格陵兰岛和南极洲的规模模型将研究快速流动的冰流中水文的基本影响以及海洋和冰盖之间的冰相互作用。
