Ocean Coupling Limits Rupture Velocity of Fastest Observed Ice Shelf Rift Propagation Event
Abstract The Antarctic ice sheet is buttressed by floating ice shelves that calve icebergs along large fractures called rifts. Despite the significant influence exerted by rifting on ice shelf geometry and buttressing, the scarcity of in situ observations of rift propagation contributes considerable...
