Tracking coarse sediment in an Alpine subglacial channel using radio-tagged particles

Tracking coarse sediment in an Alpine subglacial channel using radio-tagged particles

We present a method for tracking radio-tagged pebbles and cobbles through subglacial meltwater channels under shallow temperate glaciers. Natural particles tagged with active radio transmitters were injected directly into a large subglacial channel 300 m up-glacier from the terminus of the Glacier d...
