Abstract	:	In this dissertation I analyze and model the characteristics of small-scale, dynamically sup-ported topography. I develop a method for mapping spatial variations in the Fourier spectraof ice-sheet surfaces from elevation data measured along linear tracks. I find that there arecharacteristic patterns in these spectra, and that the shape of the spectra is largely deter-mined by the local ice thickness, while the overall spectral amplitude is determined by thelocal surface slope and by bed roughness. I explain the broad features of the spectra and.
