The creep of ice shelves: interpretation of observed behaviour
Available measurements of creep rates and dimensions of ice shelves are used, in conjunction with equations derived in a companion paper (Thomas, 1973), to evaluate the flow law parameters B and n for stresses down to 104 N m−2. The results show good agreement with laboratory work at higher stresses...
