Sensitivity of Pine Island Glacier, West Antarctica, to changes in ice-shelf and basal conditions: A model study

We use a finite-element model of coupled ice-stream/ice-shelf flow to study the sensitivity of Pine Island Glacier, West Antarctica, to changes in ice-shelf and basal conditions. By tuning a softening coefficient of the ice along the glacier margins, and a basal friction coefficient controlling the...
