The mechanics of a glacier snout
Measurements made on a temperate glacier within 200 m of its wedge-shaped terminus cannot be interpreted as simple laminar flow. Instead they are fully explained by a model based on the nonlinear (n≈3) Glen flow law that superposes longitudinal strain rate and simple shearing.
