Supraglacial Ponding

Supraglacial Ponding is a glacial hydrological process characterized by the accumulation of meltwater in localized depressions on the surface of a glacier, distinguished from other forms of glacial water storage by its position above the glacier ice and its role in enhancing surface ablation and influencing ice dynamics.
