Troughs developed in ice-stream shear margins precondition ice shelves for ocean-driven breakup
Floating ice shelves of fast-flowing ice streams are prone to rift initiation and calving
originating along zones of rapid shearing at their margins. Predicting future ice-shelf …

Softening of temperate ice by interstitial water
Ice at depth in ice-stream shear margins is thought to commonly be temperate, with
interstitial meltwater that softens ice. Models that include this softening extrapolate results of …

Thermal controls on ice stream shear margins
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 …

Glacier sliding, seismicity and sediment entrainment
The evolution of glaciers and ice sheets depends on processes in the subglacial
environment. Shear seismicity along the ice–bed interface provides a window into these …

Characterizing the ice-ocean interface of icy worlds: A theoretical approach
We investigate the structure and evolution of multiphase ice-ocean interfaces ('mushy
layers') and the implications for the geophysics and habitability of ice-ocean worlds …

Inferring ice fabric from birefringence loss in airborne radargrams: Application to the eastern shear margin of Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica
In airborne radargrams, undulating periodic patterns in amplitude that overprint traditional
radiostratigraphic layering are occasionally observed, however, they have yet to be …

A new approach to inferring basal drag and ice rheology in ice streams, with applications to West Antarctic Ice Streams
Drag at the bed and along the lateral margins are the primary forces resisting flow in outlet
glaciers. Simultaneously inferring these parameters is challenging since basal drag and ice …
