The margins of fast‐moving ice streams are characterized by steep velocity gradients. Some
of these gradients cannot be explained by a temperature‐dependent viscosity alone …

To better constrain meltwater transport and ice viscosity in temperate glaciers, particularly in
ice stream shear margins, we use a custom permeameter to study the untested model …

Results of ice-stream models that treat temperate ice deformation as a two-phase flow are
sensitive to the ice permeability. We have constructed and begun using a custom, falling …

Antarctic mass balance and contribution to sea level rise are dominated by the flow of ice
through narrow conduits called ice streams. These regions of relatively fast flow drain over …

Ice streams are bands of fast-flowing ice in ice sheets. We investigate their formation as an
example of spontaneous pattern formation, based on positive feedbacks between …

The amount of ice discharged by an ice stream depends on its width, and the widths of
unconfined ice streams such as the Siple Coast ice streams in West Antarctica have been …

A significant portion of the sea level contributions of Antarctica and Greenland comes from
ice streams, but the physical processes controlling ice stream width are poorly understood …

We describe elongate, wet, subglacial bedforms in the shear margins of the NE Greenland
Ice Stream and place some constraints on their formation. Lateral shear margin moraines …

In the Amundsen sector of West Antarctica, the flow of glaciers accelerates when intrusion of
warm ocean water onto the continental shelf induces strong melting beneath ice shelves …

Ice streams are corridors of fast flowing ice that drain the interiors of the large Antarctic and
Greenlandic ice sheets. The abrupt transition from the fast flowing ice of the streams to the …
