Modelling Laurentide ice stream thermomechanics

Ice streams are fast-flow currents which represent a small areal fraction in an ice sheet but account for the majority of ice sheet drainage. Because ice streams are inherently complex and are subgrid in current numerical models, they have not been portrayed in large-scale ice sheet studies. I em...
