Using Flubber to Study Glaciers A Hands-on Experience

Making a glacier from Flubber Sources: Left: Right:

GPS Diagram of what happens This is land Figures courtesy: John Wahr (U of Colorado)

Add load, perhaps a glacier GPS What’s going to happen to the GPS? Will it go up/down, closer/further from the glacier?

Add loadGPS GPS moves downward and towards the load The land flexes downward; the GPS moves downward and closer to the glacier

GPS Now the glacier melts. How will the GPS move?

remove loadGPS GPS receiver moves upward and away from the load As the glacier melts, the GPS moves…

(left) Vertical GPS site motions (right) Horizontal motion Red vectors represent sites primarily affected by GIA. Purple vectors represent sites that include effects of tectonics.

Horizontal motions measure by GPS GPS horizontal velocities with motion of rigid North America removed. Interpolated velocity field based on these data derived using GMT Sella, G. F., S. Stein, T. H.
