Adaptively constraining radar attenuation and temperature across the Thwaites Glacier catchment using bed echoes
Englacial temperature is a major control on ice rheology and flow. However, it is difficult to measure at the glacier to ice-sheet scale. As a result, ice-sheet models must make assumptions about englacial temperature and rheology, which affect sea level projections. This is problematic if fundament...
