Distribution of basal melting and freezing beneath tributaries of Ice Stream C: Implication for the Holocene decay of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Ice-stream tributaries connect the relatively slow moving interior of the West-Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) with the fast-flowing Siple Coast ice streams. Basal water underneath these ice streams reduces basal resistance and enables the fast motion of the ice. Basal melting being the only source for t...
