Ice viscosity is more sensitive to stress than commonly assumed

Joanna D. Millstein et al.

Summary: Accurately representing the viscous flow of ice is crucial for understanding glacier dynamics and predicting sea-level rise. Glen's Flow Law, a constitutive relation often used to describe ice viscosity, is typically represented by a constant value of n=3, but observations and experiments support a range of values across different stresses and temperatures. This study utilizes remote sensing data of Antarctic ice shelves to show that the viscous flow of ice in fast-flowing areas can be approximated by Glen's Flow Law with n=4.1±0.4, indicating that the viscosity and flow rate of ice are more sensitive to changes in stress than commonly assumed in ice-flow models.

Recrystallization of ice enhances the creep and vulnerability to fracture of ice shelves

Meghana Ranganathan et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of rapid deformation in fast-flowing glacier margins on the properties of ice, finding that an increase in grain size results in a significant decrease in tensile strength. It suggests the need to consider the effects of dynamic recrystallization in large-scale ice-sheet modeling.

Thermal controls on ice stream shear margins

Pierce Hunter et al.

Summary: The study explores thermal controls on ice stream shear margins, focusing on the balance between gravity, basal friction, and lateral drag. It was found that warmer ice deforms more easily and flows faster, while cold ice drives advective cooling. The study also shows that velocity has a modest response to different forcing until temperate zones develop in the shear margins, which then leads to a more significant sensitivity to changes in forcing.

The role of sliding in ice stream formation

Christian Schoof et al.

Summary: Ice streams are bands of fast-flowing ice in ice sheets, formed through positive feedback between dissipation and basal sliding. Temperature-dependent subtemperate sliding can lead to enhanced dissipation and warmer temperatures, potentially establishing a steady pattern of fast and slow flow.

Surface Expression and Apparent Timing of Subglacial Lake Oscillations Controlled by Viscous Ice Flow

A. G. Stubblefield et al.

Summary: Subglacial lakes are bodies of water that form at the base of ice sheets and glaciers, with the surface elevation above these lakes responding to water volume changes. The correspondence between surface elevation-derived estimates and true values strongly depends on ice thickness, volume-change rate, and basal drag coefficient. Viscous relaxation of the ice-sheet surface can render lake volume changes unobservable with altimetry in many realistic combinations of these factors.

Softening of Temperate Ice by Interstitial Water

Conner J. C. Adams et al.

Summary: Ice at depth in ice-stream shear margins is believed to be commonly temperate with interstitial meltwater that softens the ice. Experimental studies show that water softening amplifies basal slip and significantly affects the effective viscosity of ice.
