Ice viscosity governs hydraulic fracture causing rapid drainage of supraglacial lakes
Full-thickness crevasses can transport water from the glacier surface to the bedrock where high water pressures can open kilometre-long cracks along the basal interface, which can accelerate glacier flow. We present a first computational modelling study that describes time-dependent fracture propaga...
