Inter- and Intra-Catchment Variations in Proglacial Geomorphology: An Example From Franz Josef Glacier and Fox Glacier, New Zealand

摘要: Abstract Proglacial outwash plains, or “sandar,” can be recognized to a part of geomorphic, sedimentary, and hydrological system. At global scale, glacial meltwater regimes hence proglacial fluvial systems are strongly determined by glacier basal water conditions behavior. catchment scale it is necessary consider that sedimentation have range frequency magnitude regimes. This paper presents geomorphological sedimentological data from Franz Josef Glacier Fox sandar, which adjacent catchments. We determine glaciofluvial facies the most abundant sediment-landform association at both sites. However, we also observe considerable intra-catchment variability with respect magnitude-frequency regime deposition relative importance processes for sandur character. relatively high relief superficially composed boulder bedforms laterally long...
