Sentence examples for meltwater flow from inspiring English sources

The congruence of ice and meltwater flow features is interpreted to be a response to a similar ice sheet gradient, and close timing of events (late dominant glacial ice flow and meltwater flow).

Its origin is related to meltwater flow and dead-ice persistence resulting in a valley with a lake creek system.

High sedimentation rates reduce ice tunnel cross-sectional area, cause an increase in meltwater flow velocity and force ice tunnel growth.

In the absence of a crevassed layer (which will dominate any meltwater flow), overflowing may be initiated by enhanced rates of seepage, despite the intrinsically low hydraulic conductivities of snow and firn.

We suggest that meltwater flow across the middle and outer shelves might have been in broad, turbulent floods, which raises the possibility that megascale glacial lineations (MSGL) on the shelf might originate by erosion in turbulent flow.

Interestingly, our mtDNA genetic equilibrium tests only point to recent population bottlenecking within WCP samples (Table  3) spanning extensive wetlands and swamps of the Mississippi River Delta, a major outlet of postglacial meltwater flow and alluvial deposition.

I could hear, beneath the plate of ice, the trickling of meltwater flowing to the sea.

Pulses of meltwater flowing to the Atlantic Ocean from large ice dammed lakes altered thermohaline circulation of the world's oceans and global climate.

In addition to the nutrient contributed by seasonal snowmelt (Hodson 2006), subglacial meltwater flowing through channels may also influence the productivity and diversity of microbial communities by controlling the concentrations of nutrients and the physicochemical conditions of glacial environments (e.g., Tranter et al. 2005; Esposito et al. 2006; Mikucki et al. 2009; Bentley et al. 2011).
