Quantifying subglacial roughness and its link to glacial geomorphology and ice speed

The shape of subglacial bed topography, termed its roughness, is a recognised control on basal ice-flow. Although glaciologists have observed patterns of variations in ice speed over beds with different roughness values, the strength of this relationship has rarely been quantified, and measurements...
