Estimating glacier basal properties from surface measurements: A non-linear inversion approach applied to the Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica

The influence of basal disturbances on the steady-state surface topography and on surface velocities of glaciers and ice sheets is investigated numerically. This is done for finite-amplitude basal perturbations in both bed topography and basal slipperiness using a non-linear ice rheology and a non-l...
