Basal topographic controls on the stability of the West Antarctic ice sheet: lessons from Foundation Ice Stream
Using observations of basal topography, ice thickness and modern accumulation rates, we use theory and a dynamic flowline model to examine the sensitivity of Antarctica's Foundation Ice Stream to changes in sea level, accumulation and buttressing at the grounding line. Our sensitivity studies d...
