Glacier geometry and flow speed determine how Arctic marine-terminating glaciers respond to lubricated beds

<p>Basal conditions directly control the glacier sliding rate and the dynamic discharge of ice. Recent glacier destabilization events indicate that some marine-terminating glaciers quickly respond to lubricated beds with increased flow speed, but the underlying physics, especially how this vul...
