SUMMARY:What lies beneath: a radio-glaciological study of Greenland. - Mr

DESCRIPTION:Despite several decades of satellite and airborne geophysical 
 surveys over the  Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) there is still much that we d
 o not know about the properties of the bedrock that lie beneath the ice\, 
 and to what extent basal characteristics influence ice dynamics. Whilst su
 rveys were initially conducted to better constrain future sea-level rise c
 ontribution from glaciological modelling\, radio-echo sounding (RES) has t
 he potential to reveal basal characteristics relevant to both contemporary
  and palaeo-ice dynamics\, and information regarding geology\, landscape a
 lteration and genesis.\n\nThis talk will detail several examples of this '
 extra' information to be gleaned from RES conducted as part of my PhD rese
 arch\, as well as some future avenues for investigation.
