Theme:
Meltwater in glaciers develop drainage systems
in glaciers that are analogue to karst drainage
systems, therefore glacial karst is sometimes
used as a term for karst features on the surface
and inside glaciers. The processes of glacial
karst development are related to glacier activity,
access of water, glaciers morphology, dimensions
of surface drainage basins and local climate.
This symposium focus their attention on the processes
of glacial karst development (modern, past and
future) and the linkage and impacts of climate
change on the glacier drainage systems (previously
on internal glacier drainage). We like contributions
related to all aspects internal drainage investigation:
climatological, hydrological, glaciological, geomorphological,
speleological, geochemical, biological and other.
. . .
Topics:
Glacier caves (News of explorations within glaciers)
Glacial karst (debris-covered glaciers)
Glacier hydrology (Glacial drainage, glacial lakes,
hydrochemistry and isotopic geochemistry of glacier
water)
Englacial and subglacial drainage systems
Modelling of internal glacier drainage
Paleogeography of glacial karst
. . .
