An Empirical Approach for Estimating Stress-Coupling Lengths for Marine-Terminating Glaciers

Variability in the dynamic behavior of marine-terminating glaciers is poorly understood, despite an increase in the abundance and resolution of observations. When paired with ice thicknesses, surface velocities can be used to quantify the dynamic redistribution of stresses in response to environment...
