Ice shelves surrounding the Antarctic perimeter decelerate ice discharge towards the ocean through buttressing. Ice-shelf evolution and integrity depend on the local surface accumulation, basal melting and on the spatially variable ice-shelf viscosity. These parameters are often poorly constrained b...
