hydrological system is channelized or distributed. Channelized systems are an efficient form of drainage as they are able to rapidly move water out of the glacier, reducing water pressure in the system. By decreasing water pressure underneath the glacier, friction between the glacier ice and the bedrock below increases, slowing the movement of the glacier. Distributed flow systems, contrastingly, are characterized by slow-moving water in small cavities and passages; when water flux into the system increases, such as during periods of high melt, the system is unable to compensate, resulting in large increases in basal water pressure. As a result, friction between the glacier and the bed is reduced, and glacial sliding speed increases. Glacial motion can also cause changes in subglacial stream systems, and there are feedbacks present between the two. As subglacial water pressure increases, the speed of glacial sliding increases. The glacier encounters bumps in the bedrock as it slides: as a result, cavities are created between the ice and the bed. The glacier encounters more bumps due to its higher speed and, since ice moving at a higher speed is less able to maintain connection with the bedrock, faster moving glaciers are more likely to form cavities when passing over bumps. This increases the subglacial space which can be filled with water, decreasing basal water pressure. The interaction between glacial motion and subglacial hydrology creates a negative feedback loop, in which increased water pressure below the glacier increases glacial sliding speed, which in turn decreases pressure and, consequently, sliding speed. Through this mechanism, the effects of speedup events can decay over time. Another control on glacial sliding speed is the process of channelization. Sustained high levels of meltwater input result in a shift from a distributed network of subglacial streams to a more channelized system as larger passages through the ice develop. As larger channels are able to more efficiently remove water from the subglacial system, water pressure decreases, increasing friction between the glacier and the bedrock and decreasing sliding speed. Channelization is the most significant process in terminating speedup events, and is responsible for the slowdown in glacial speed at the end of summer following the speedup commonly observed as meltwater flow increases in spring.

all meltwater is derived from basal melting and the release of stored meltwater. Both of these sources involve small amounts of water released relatively uniformly throughout the bed of the glacier, making them unlikely to form large drainage channels. Some major tunnels remain in the system year-round, and are the main points of discharge during the winter, but the system at large is characterized by distributed drainage. As temperatures rise and surface melting increases water flux to the bed in late spring, the winter stream system is disrupted. Distributed flow channels, lacking the capacity for increased volumes of meltwater, experience a rise in water pressure and are destabilized. High water pressures lead to the formation of larger tunnels—a process known as channelization—that have a greater capacity for meltwater and allow for pressures to fall. This change can happen gradually or can be triggered by events that rapidly increase meltwater flow, such as consecutive days of high melting or a large rainstorm. The now-channelized system grows in extent throughout the summer as meltwater input continues to increase, with new passages forming and growing in size. In autumn, surface melting decreases, and the volume of meltwater is no longer sufficient to maintain the newly formed channels; deformation of the surrounding ice slowly closes channels that do not generate enough frictional melting along their walls to offset the closure. Eventually, a distributed stream system again becomes dominant. Some perennial channels remain throughout the winter season, but the channels formed in spring disappear—when new tunnels form again the next year, they do not form in the same locations as the ones that closed.

glacier, which can serve as heat sources for glacial melt. Ice melt due to discharge plumes has a significant impact in areas in which discharge rates exceed 100 m/s; with lesser discharge rates, plume-associated heat is insignificant compared to the effects of ocean mixing. Seasonal variability plays an important role in the way that subglacial streams influence glacial melting. During the summer, subglacial stream output is much greater, resulting in plumes that are larger, faster, and more buoyant than during the winter. In addition to the greater volume of discharge increasing glacial melt, the increased buoyancy of the plume results in more turbulence and, consequently, more heat transfer to the glacier, further increasing melt. The effect subglacial stream discharge has on glacial melt is also influenced by the type of subglacial drainage system; distributed subglacial streams result in an output of meltwater uniformly across the grounding line (where the glacier transitions from grounded to floating ice), whereas channelized drainage results in individual, large outlets. Distributed discharge results in glacial melt volumes up to five times greater than that of channelized drainage, as individual strong plumes of meltwater are not as capable of inducing widespread melting as a much greater number of smaller outputs.
105:
terminus. Water is fast-moving in these systems, and pressure inside the channels is relatively low compared to pressure in the ice around them. Turbulence in the rapid flow produces heat, which is able to melt the ice walls of the tunnels. While the total water added to the system by this process is insignificant compared to water from the surface and from basal melting, the melting of the channel walls allows the channel to remain open even when the ice pressures surrounding it are much greater than the pressure of the water inside. The constant erosion of the tunnel walls is able to offset the narrowing of the tunnel caused by deformation of the ice. Depending on the water supply and the characteristics of the bed, the tunnels can take different forms, including semicircular tunnels cutting into the ice, broad and low tunnels, and tunnels that cut into the bed rather than the ice. Broad and low tunnels form in channels with variable amounts of meltwater, as melting is concentrated on the tunnel walls rather than the ceiling when the tunnel is not completely full of water. Channels that maintain long-term stability in water flow and location can erode the bedrock over time, resulting in tunnels that cut into the bed rather than the ice above.
122:. In cases in which glaciers are above porous, unconsolidated sediment, some water can flow through the sediment; like film flow, porous flow does not account for much of the water flux in the system. When the bed is deformable, wide, shallow canals up to 10 cm in width can form in the surface of the sediment, topped by the glacial ice. In glaciers with steep slopes, canal systems are unstable, as they can be easily absorbed by channels above the sediment. As glaciers move over bumps in the bedrock, differences in pressure can separate the ice from the bed behind the bump if the glacier is moving fast enough. This creates cavities between the glacier and the bed, which fill with water. If the water pressure is high enough, the cavity expands, and the water can cause more separation between the ice and bed surrounding the cavity. With sustained water supply, small passages form between cavities, creating a large network of linked cavities which water flows between. Water in linked cavity systems flows, on average, in a direction normal to the equipotential surfaces of pressure in the glacier. However, the path taken is long and indirect, and at times water can be flowing nearly parallel to the equipotential surfaces.

hydrology of subglacial systems, changing the timing of seasonal variations. As a result of climate change-induced increases in meltwater, greater volumes of water are likely to reach the bed earlier in the year. This would cause the transition from winter distributed subglacial drainage to summer channelized streams to occur earlier in the year. Glacial motion could also be affected: since glaciers dominated by channelized systems have lesser sliding speeds, the earlier transition to this system could result in slower moving glaciers. However, short-term fluctuations in meltwater volume and pressure, which may become more intense as runoff increases, could offset this decrease in sliding by causing localized speedups. Increases in the volume of discharge from subglacial streams are likely to increase the melting of marine-terminating glaciers, as submarine melt rates are highly sensitive to the amount of subglacial discharge.
180:, or DOC, flows into glaciers, eventually reaching subglacial stream systems, which carry the organic matter out of the glacier. This source of DOC is supplemented by organic matter produced within subglacial ecosystems, where there are diverse microbial communities. Though the concentration of dissolved organic matter in glacial meltwater is low, the sheer amount of freshwater discharge from glaciers makes glacially-sourced DOC an important source of bioavailable carbon to marine ecosystems.

These eskers can be temporary, lasting only until increasing water pressure during the next melt season flushes out the sediment, or they could be permanent.

This liquid water at the bed—present in temperate but not polar glaciers—provides a constant input of water to subglacial stream systems.
