Ice Flow along the Byrd Station Strain Network, Antarctica

Abstract The flow of the Antarctic ice sheet near Byrd Station is modeled using surface net accumulation-rate data, surface strain-rate data, and core-hole tilting results. The model empirically allows for the progressive development of ice fabric and for values of the vertical strain-rate nearer to...
