Short summary
In this study we develop a novel method to map subsurface water flow paths and spatially reference in situ data from such environments. We demonstrate the feasibility of our method with the reconstruction of the flow path of an englacial channel and the water pressures therein. Our method opens up for direct mapping of subsurface water flow paths, not only in glacier hydrology but also in other applications (e.g., karst caves, pipelines, sewer systems).
