text We make a first-order calculation of accumulation rates in the catchment of Thwaites Glacier (TG), West Antarctica using the Nye and Daansgard-Johnson methodologies. Both formulations compute accumulations as a function of the age-depth relationship, including a thinning correction due to ice f...
