This investigation is an on-going study of processes at a glacier               bed.  The objectives are to study time and space variations in                  the coupling between the glacier and its bed, to develop a                      relation between water pressure variations and sliding velocity,                and to study the nature and evolution of internal drainage within               glacier.  The field part of the study will be conducted on                      Storglaciaren in northern Sweden, which is readily accessible                   from the University of Stockholm's tarfala Resedarch Station.                   Weekly and, in some cases, daily measurements of stake movements                will be made, combined with measurements of water pressure                      variations and internal deformation in holes bored to the base of               the glacier.  Continuous measurements of strain and tilt, studies               of internal drainage with the use of dye tracers, and monitoring                of surface ablation and water and sediments discharge at the                    ternimous will also be carried out.  Understanding of basal                     processes and, in particular, the effects of subglacial water                   pressure is critical in the effort to understand basal sliding.
