Ice shelf rift propagation: stability, three-dimensional effects, and the role of marginal weakening

<p>Understanding the processes that govern ice shelf extent is important to improving estimates of future sea-level rise. In present-day Antarctica, ice shelf extent is most commonly determined by the propagation of through-cutting fractures called ice shelf rifts. Here, I present the first...
