Glacier flow over rough hard beds is controlled by basal processes, such as friction, the opening of cavities behind obstacles and any interaction between the glacier bed and basal ice. In this PhD, we study a multitude of these processes.Current theories to describe drag of glaciers over hard beds are formulated on the basis that ice is free of debris and slides without friction over the glacier bed.However, debris at the basal layers and cold ice cause additional resistance to glacier flow.We provide an analytical model of glacier sliding that accounts for the effect of local shear stress at the ice-bed interface in the framework of Weertman (1957), and expand the solution to account for the opening of cavities.This additional drag slows ...
