The dynamic mass loss of ice sheets constitutes one of the biggest uncertainties in
projections of ice-sheet evolution. One central, understudied aspect of ice flow is how the …

The slip of glaciers over the underlying bed is the dominant mechanism governing the
migration of ice from land into the oceans, with accelerating slip contributing to sea-level …

Ice stream discharge responds to a balance between gravity, basal friction and lateral drag.
Appreciable viscous heating occurs in shear margins between ice streams and adjacent …

We investigate the errors caused by neglecting the crystal-orientation fabric when inferring
the basal friction coefficient field, and whether such errors can be alleviated by inferring an …

Reliable projections of sea‐level rise depend on accurate representations of how fast‐
flowing glaciers slip along their beds. The mechanics of slip are often parameterized as a …

The initiation of fractures and fast flow in floating regions of Antarctica have the potential to
destabilize large regions of the grounded ice sheet, leading to rapid sea-level rise. While …

We examine gravity-driven two-layer flow of generalized Newtonian fluids. The two layers
have different densities and constitutive laws, and the flow is assumed to be shallow and …

Glacier flow modulates sea level and is governed largely by the viscous deformation of ice.
Multiple molecular-scale mechanisms facilitate viscous deformation, but it remains unclear …

Thwaites Glacier (TG) plays an important role in future sea-level rise (SLR) contribution from
the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Recent observations show that TG is losing mass, and its …

Subglacial bed roughness is one of the main factors controlling the rate of future Antarctic
ice-sheet retreat and also one of the most uncertain. A common technique to constrain the …
