Creep deformation and buttressing capacity of damaged ice shelves: theory and application to Larsen C ice shelf
Around the perimeter of Antarctica, much of the ice sheet discharges to the ocean through floating ice shelves. The buttressing provided by ice shelves is critical for modulating the flux of ice into the ocean, and the presently observed thinning of ice shelves is believed to be reducing thei...
