A new approach to inferring basal drag and ice rheology in ice streams, with applications to West Antarctic Ice Streams

Drag at the bed and along the lateral margins are the primary forces resisting flow in outlet glaciers. Simultaneously inferring these parameters is challenging since basal drag and ice viscosity are coupled in the momentum balance, which governs ice flow. We test the ability of adjoint-based invers...
