Greenland Ice Sheet Surface Topography and Drainage Structure Controlled by the Transfer of Basal Variability

Greenland Ice Sheet Surface Topography and Drainage Structure Controlled by the Transfer of Basal Variability

Ice flow can transfer variations in basal topography and basal slipperiness to the ice surface. Recent developments in this theory have made it possible to conduct numerical experiments to predict mesoscale surface topographical undulations and surface relief on an ice sheet-scale. Focussing here on...
