, 2016 Rapidly-flowing ice streams are an important mechanism through which ice sheets lose mass, and much work has been focussed on elucidating the processes that increase or decrease their velocity.

Persistence and variability of ice-stream grounding lines on retrograde bed slopes
, 2016 . In many ice streams, basal resistance varies in space and time due to the dynamically evolving properties of subglacial till. These variations can cause internally generated oscillations in ice-stream flow. However, the potential for such variations in

Thermal convection and the origin of ice streams [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2009 AbstractIce streams are a fact of ice-sheet dynamics, draining up to 90% of the ice. Thermal convection in ice below the density inversion is a speculation. An attempt is made to meld the two in such a way that the speculation becomes an explanation for the fact.

Ice-Shelf Response to Ice-stream Discharge Fluctuations: III. The Effects of Ice-stream Imbalance on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1989 AbstractA numerical simulation of the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica, in which discharge from Ice Streams A-E is changed suddenly between extreme states, is used to investigate ice-shelf thickness and flow anomalies generated by ice-stream transience.

Ice stream reorganization and glacial retreat on the northwest Greenland shelf
