meltwater
It was postulated that the movement of water through hydrocarbon-contaminated sediments would result in the dispersal of hydrocarbon-contaminatedmeltwaterdownhill towards the sea.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The mobilisation of hydrocarbons combined withmeltwaterinflow is obviously limited to the brief part of the summer in which liquid water occurs.
From theCambridge English Corpus
During monitoring, emphasis was given to the interaction of contaminated sites with periglacial,meltwaterand aeolian processes.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This wide plain consists of an area of grey sandy outwash cut with deep gullies created by glacialmeltwater.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thermoerosion takes place due to energy transported to the lowermost part of the frozen material by means ofmeltwater.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The figure shows many successful matches on the lower half of the glacier, particularly on the eastern side, all derived frommeltwaterchannels.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Once ice thaws, continued radiation effects can cause mixing of the fuel withmeltwater.
From theCambridge English Corpus
They noted a strongly bisected coastline, with inlets reaching towards the ice cap, and numerousmeltwaterlakes, often without apparent external discharge.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, we suspect that such nutrients are deposited frommeltwaterinto impact-generated cavities, which would encourage endolithic heterotrophic bacteria to inhabit them.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The interaction of contaminated sites withmeltwater/groundwater and aeolian processes did not significantly change the hydrocarbon distribution at the former base site during the monitoring period (1992- 96).
From theCambridge English Corpus
The semi-automated method shows that reliable and consistent velocity vectors can be extracted frommeltwaterchannels, and that these retain their identity over at least two years.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Nutrient rich lakes are found near the coast; sterile lakes are located further inland and are fed bymeltwaterand local precipitation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It was also possible to track the motion of fine-scale features in the surface geometry such asmeltwaterchannels, and hence to determine the glacier's surface velocity, in some areas.
From theCambridge English Corpus
As the ice continued to retreat, a series of east-west channels were cut by the easterly flowing glacialmeltwater.
