Temperature-dependent shear flow and the absence of thermal runaway in valley glaciers
We propose a two-dimensional model of a valley glacier in order to reconsider the question of whether thermal runaway could be a viable mechanism for the onset of creep instability in surging glaciers. We do this by providing an approximate solution for the temperature field based on the idea that s...
