Inferring Tideâ€Induced Ephemeral Grounding in an Iceâ€Shelfâ€Stream System: Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica

Antarctic ice shelves play a key role in regulating the rate of ice flow in tributary ice streams. Temporal variations in the associated ice-shelf buttressing stress are observed to impact ice flow in glaciers and ice streams. Ephemeral grounding induced by tides is an important mechanism for modula...
