Which outcome occurs when increasing temperature reduces stream ice-dam duration in subpolar regions during glacier-surge events?

💡 Explanation

Decreased ice-dam duration reduces outburst floods because the dam's ability to accumulate massive water volumes diminishes, decreasing floodwater potential. Therefore, streams experience smaller floods rather than intensified marine processes because upstream conditions alter first.
