The Siple Coast ice streams, which drain the West Antarctic Ice Sheet into the Ross Ice Shelf, are susceptible to temporal changes in flow dynamics. The Kamb Ice Stream on the Siple Coast, stagnated approximately 160 years ago, thought to partially be the result of basal water diversion. The charact...
