In order to determine the mechanisms for rapid ice stream flow,                 this project will drill several boreholes to the base of                        Jakobshavns Glacier, Greenland.  Borehole measurements of internal              deformation, basal water pressure, ice temperature and electrical               conductivity at the bed will be combined with short-period                      measurements of the surface velocity to provide a firm basis for                establishing the mechanisms which govern the flow of this fast                  moving ice stream.  Ice core sampling at selected depths within                 the borehole and sampling of the glacier bed will be undertaken to              determine the physical properties and structure of the ice and any              existing subglacial material and the role which these properties                play in determining the rapid flow of the ice stream.  Water                    transport at the glacier bed will be investigated by following the              flow and dispersion of borehole salt injections using electrical                conductivity methods.  This project is a fully collaborative                    effort with ETH, Zurich, Switzerland.
