Ice stream motion facilitated by a shallow-deforming and accreting bed

Ice stream motion facilitated by a shallow-deforming and accreting bed

Ice streams are fundamental to ice sheet dynamics, but the mechanisms controlling their flow remain elusive. Here, the authors perform macro- and microscale analyses of mega-scale glacial lineations, which indicate a continuously accreting, shallow-deforming bed during ice stream flow.
