A numerical model for meltwater channel evolution in glaciers [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2012 Meltwater channels form an integral part of the hydrological system of a glacier. Better understanding of how meltwater channels develop and evolve is required to fully comprehend supraglacial and englacial meltwater drainage. Incision of supraglacial
