Challenges in predicting Greenland supraglacial lake drainages at the regional scale
A leading hypothesis for the mechanism of fast supraglacial lake drainages is that transient extensional stresses briefly allow crevassing in otherwise-compressive ice flow regimes. Lake water can then hydrofracture the crevasse to the base of the ice sheet, and river inputs can maintain this connec...
