Modeling Glacial erosion using ice velocity and rock strength in Coastal Alaska

Will Kochtitzky and Ian Nesbitt

This project uses a very basic, very generalized, "fudge factored" rock cohesion classification (shown below) to estimate erosion in coastal Alaska at present and throughout the last 115,000 years. Modeled velocity and ice extent data provided graciously by Annie Boucher.
