Strain rate distribution on an active ice shelf rift derived by GPS
The majority of mass lost from the Antarctic ice sheet takes place at the fringing ice shelves via iceberg calving. Iceberg calving is controlled by the initiation and propagation of large scale rifts (fractures that penetrate through the entire ice shelf thickness), which precede large tabular iceb...
