A modified viscous flow law for natural glacier ice: Scaling from laboratories to ice sheets by Ranganathan, Meghana, Minchew, Brent

“…Our results yield a map of the dominant deformation mechanisms in the Antarctic Ice Sheet, showing that, contrary to long-standing assumptions, dislocation creep, characterized by a value of the stress exponent, likely dominates in all fast-flowing areas. This increase from the canonical value of dramatically alters the climate conditions under which marine ice sheets may become unstable and drive rapid rates of sea-level rise.…”
