  1. Objectives: To understand where melt water is in the Glacial system To recognise and explain Glacial hydrographs and regimes To consider the role of melt water in shaping and changing glacial sediments Glaciers and Melt water – Fluvioglacial environments Glacial meltwater streams flowing off the Kaskawulsh glacier.

  2. Make a copy of the diagram Where will Moulins occur and why? How could MelT water move within the glacial System?

  3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tik28A0jZo Glaciers and meltwater – a little video

  4. Glaciers and melt water an example - Gornergletscher Glacier

  5. What melt water evidence is there on this photo of the Gornergletscher glacier?

  6. http://www.swisseduc.ch/glaciers/alps/index-en.html Find the Moulins!

  7. What is discharge? Describe and explain the patterns on the graph, ensure that you do this for all 4 of the lines Glaciers and Melt water – Discharge of Glacial streams

  8. Compare the 2 graphs above, what do they show? Glaciers and Meltwater – River Regimes
