Viscosity and elasticity: a model intercomparison of ice-shelf bending in an Antarctic grounding zone

ABSTRACT Grounding zones are vital to ice-sheet mass balance and its coupling to the global ocean circulation. Processes here determine the mass discharge from the grounded ice sheet, to the floating ice shelves. The response of this transition zone to tidal forcing has been described by both elasti...
