Analytical solutions for the surface response to small amplitude perturbations in boundary data in the shallow-ice-stream approximation

New analytical solutions describing the effects of small-amplitude perturbations in boundary data on flow in the shallow-ice-stream approximation are presented. These solutions are valid for a non-linear Weertman-type sliding law and for Newtonian ice rheology. Comparison is made with corresponding...
