The aim of this project is to collect data to test a new theory of glacier surges - enthalpy cycling theory. The theory predicts that surges occur where frictional heating creates heat and meltwater (enthalpy) faster than it can be lost. This prediction will be tested for Kongsvegen, a glacier kn...
