Glaciers

A glacier (US: or UK: ) is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight. A glacier forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation over many years, often centuries. Glaciers slowly deform and flow under stresses induced by their weight, creating crevasses, seracs, and other distinguishing features. They also abrade rock and debris from their substrate to create landforms such as cirques, moraines, or fjords. Glaciers form only on land and are distinct from the much thinner sea ice and lake ice that forms on the surface of bodies of water. On …

glacier coverage in the SSRB headwaters. • No Glaciers – This scenario reflects one in which glacier in the year (i.e. the glaciers have melted and no longer exist). The No Glaciers land cover was used to an extreme scenario, in which there would be no glaciers remaining in the headwaters of the South Saskatchewan Current Conditions and No Glaciers land cover scenarios. In the current system, glaciers provide meaningful contributions to streamflow Contributions from glaciers are an important seasonal component of streamflow
