Insights into ice stream dynamics through modelling their response to tidal forcing [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 The tidal forcing of ice streams at their ocean boundary can serve as a natural experiment to gain an insight into their dynamics and constrain the basal sliding law.

Variations in basal conditions on Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica
, 1997 Seismic reflection data from two lines on Rutford Ice Stream are presented and are compared with data already published from a third line on the ice stream.

, 2021 <div>Ice streams are the arteries through which a large fraction of the ice lost from Antarctica is discharged. With the introduction of "higher order" mechanics, the representation of ice streams in ice sheet models appears to have become more robust, eliminating previously ubiquitous grid effects.

Late Holocene stabilization of Conway Ice Ridge [PDF]
The CryosphereMarine ice sheets are low-pass filters of climate variability that take centuries to millennia to adjust to interior and near-terminus changes in mass balance.

Softening of Temperate Ice by Interstitial Water
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 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 a single experimental study in which ice effective viscosity decreased ...

An ice-sheet scale comparison of eskers with modelled subglacial drainage routes [PDF]
, 2015 Eskers record the signature of channelised meltwater drainage during deglaciation providing vital information on the nature and evolution of subglacial drainage.

Dynamic behaviour of rutford ice stream [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1982 The grounding-line region of Rutford Ice Stream was surveyed from the ground during 1978–79 and 1979–80, and from the air in 1980–81. Maps of surface elevation and ice thickness of an area of 1 000 km2allow the grounding line to be delineated and show that the ice stream consists of several distinct fingers of thick ice trending parallel to the flow ...

Reconstructing ice dynamics in the central sector of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet [PDF]
, 2010 The central sector (NW England and Scottish borders) of the last British-Irish Ice Sheet exhibits a palimpsest glacial geological and geomorphological signature characteristic of multi-phase ice flow and ice-marginal fluctuations. Despite its influential

Subglacial hydrology and the formation of ice streams [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2014 Antarctic ice streams are associated with pressurized subglacial meltwater but the role this water plays in the dynamics of the streams is not known. To address this, we present a model of subglacial water flow below ice sheets, and particularly below ice streams.
