Abstract. Most of the ice leaving the Antarctic Ice Sheet is discharged to the sea by ice streams. An understanding of the dynamics of these ice streams is therefore crucial if we are to predict the future evolution of the ice sheet and its effect on global sea level. The behavior of Ice Streams A t...
