Subglacial Hydrology

Subglacial Hydrology is a branch of glaciology that studies the movement, distribution, and properties of water beneath glaciers and ice sheets, distinguishing it from other glacial hydrological systems by its focus on basal hydrological processes and their interaction with ice dynamics.
