Hard rock landforms generate 130 km ice shelf channels through water focusing in basal corrugations
Subglacial landforms, formed by glacial processes operating over long timescales, influence ice dynamics. Here, the authors show how mega-scale landforms at an Antarctic ice stream grounding zone modulate basal water flow, causing extensive channels in the ice shelf downstream that may impact its st...
