Observations of surface motion and ice deformation from 2002–03 were used to infer mean stress fields in a cross-section of Black Rapids Glacier, Alaska, USA, over seasonal timescales Observations of surface motion and ice deformation from 2002–03 were used to infer mean stress fields in a cross-sec...
