Ice deformation dominates the evolution of ice shelf flow and the slow-moving regions in theinterior of ice sheets. However, deformation may be poorly represented in large-scale ice sheet models thatuse the Glen flow relation, due to its questionable applicability to the steady-state flow of anisotr...
