Basal shear stress under alpine glaciers: insights from experiments using the iSOSIA and Elmer/Ice models
Shear stress at the base of glaciers exerts a significant control on basal sliding and hence also glacial erosion in arctic and high-altitude areas. However, the inaccessible nature of glacial beds complicates empirical studies of basal shear stress, and little is therefore known of its spatial and...
