A viscoelastic model of ice stream flow with application to stick-slip motion

Stick-slip motion such as that observed at Whillans Ice Stream, WestAntarctica, is one example of transient forcing significantly affecting longer-termice-stream dynamics. We develop and present a two-dimensional map-plane viscoelasticmodel of perturbations to ice-stream dynamics suitable for simula...
