Vertical dashed lines identify two distinct glacier modes, A and B. The period of the HCL outburst flood is shaded light blue. a, Half-hour and 24-h averaged air temperatures at GPS3. b, Four-hour averaged horizontal ice speeds at each GPS receiver. c, Uplift (vertical motion minus the surface-parallel trajectory) at each GPS receiver. d, Lake level record at HCL and DFL. The DFL stage is relative to the lake basin floor, whereas the HCL record captures the uppermost 9 m (of approx100 m) of lake filling and draining. e, Kennicott River discharge and electrical conductivity.
