A three-dimensional full Stokes model of the grounding line dynamics: effect of a pinning point beneath the ice shelf
The West Antarctic ice sheet is confined by a large area of ice shelves, fed by inland ice through fast flowing ice streams. The dynamics of the grounding line, which is the line-boundary between grounded ice and the downstream ice shelf, has a major influence on the dynamics of the whole ice sheet....
