Relative importance of lateral and vertical shear on Rutford Ice Stream, Antarctica
Survey data from three transverse profiles across Rutford Ice Stream show that most of the shear deformation occurs in boundary layers about 10 km wide on both sides of the glacier. There is a central part, also about 10 km wide, where lateral shear-stress gradients are not significantly different f...
