4 Introduction Theory Examples References Problems Why study glacier hydraulics? Basal sliding of glacier/ice sheets is dependent on basal water pressure: One possible sliding law: u b = Bτb mn r where N = p i p w e.g. Budd et al. (1979) 2

10 Introduction Theory Examples References Problems Case study I: A big glacier flood in Iceland Jökulhlaups (glacier lake outburst floods) often occur in Iceland. The most famous one is the outburst of Grimsvötn, a subglacial lake. (e.g. Björnsson, 2003) 6
11 Introduction Theory Examples References Problems Case study I: A big glacier flood in Iceland Floodplain after the big 1996 flood which destroyed the Iceland s ring-road. 7

19 Introduction Theory Examples References Problems Case study II: A glacier s daily routine If increased water input leads to higher water pressure, then (through a sliding law such as u b = Bτ m b N r ) we can expect higher flow speeds. Using data from Andrews et al. (2014) 11
20 Introduction Theory Examples References Problems Case study II: A glacier s daily routine If increased water input leads to higher water pressure, then (through a sliding law such as u b = Bτ m b N r ) we can expect higher flow speeds. Question: What kind of glacier drainage system produces the observed pressure response? Using data from Andrews et al. (2014) 11
