Inferring tide-induced ephemeral grounding and subsequent dynamical response in an ice-shelf-stream system: Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica

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