Term Definition Contributor Modified
Subglacial Pertaining to the glacier bed or to the material below the bed. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Subglacial Describes features lying under ice cover. The term subglacial precedes the geographical term as in Subglacial Trench, Subglacial Highlands, and Subglacial Lake. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Subglacial debris Debris which has been released from ice at the base of a glacier. Individual stones usually show signs of rounding as a result of abrasion at the contact between ice and bedrock. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Subglacial meltwater channel A steep, often vertically sided valley cut into bedrock by a subglacial stream under high pressure. It may have a profile with uphill sections, since a sufficient head in the glacier can force water t o flow up slope. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Subglacial permafrost Permafrost beneath a glacier. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Subglacial permafrost Permafrost beneath a glacier GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Subglacial stream A stream that flows beneath a glacier, and which usually cuts into the ice above to form a tunnel. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Subglacial talik A layer or body of unfrozen ground beneath a glacier in an area with permafrost GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Subglacial talik A layer or body of unfrozen ground beneath a glacier in an area with permafrost. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Subgrid-scale No definition provided Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16
subinfinite Due to succession arrangements, the object is expected to be available beyond the provider organization’s lifetime. Jeremy DeBarry 2023.03.27
subject A matter that the resource is primarily related to. Nassib Nassar 2023.03.27
Subject headings No definition provided Christopher Rauch 2023.12.01
sublimation No definition provided Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16
Sublimation Process where ice changes into water vapor without first becoming liquid. This process requires approximately 680 calories of heat energy for each gram of water converted. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Sublimation The transition of a substance from the solid phase directly to the vapour phase, or vice versa, without passing through the liquid phase. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Sublimation The process in which a solid turns to a gas without first forming a liquid (opposite of deposition). GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Sublimation The process by which solids are transformed directly to the state of vapour or vice versa, without passing through the liquid phase. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Sublimation The process by which a solid changes phase directly into a vapour without melting. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
Sublimation The transition of a substance from the solid phase directly to the vapor phase, or vice versa, without passing through an intermediate liquid phase. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
