Basal sliding, the act of a glacier sliding over the bed before it due to meltwater under the ice acting as a lubricant
The Shonkin Sag along the northern edge of the Highwood Mountains, Montana, is a channel formed by the Missouri River and glacial meltwater pouring from Glacial Lake Great Falls; it is one of the most famous prehistoric meltwater channels in the world.
Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology (MEST) was established in Accra, Ghana in 2008, by Meltwater Group and its non-profit Meltwater Foundation.
The Meltwater Foundation, a non-profit branch of the company, provides entrepreneurial and software training to promising young African students at the Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology (MEST) in Ghana.
Meltwater from the glacier is the source of the South Puyallup River and Tahoma Creek, a tributary of the Nisqually River.
Because the source of the Indus River is glacial meltwater from the Himalayas, the river carries huge amounts of sediment.
Inasmuch as the Wisconsin glaciation formed lobes that met (and blocked) where the Mississippi now flows, and given that huge amounts of glacial meltwater were flowing into the Driftless Area, and that there is no lakebed, it is assumed that there were instances of ice dams bursting.
