Accepted manuscript version. Published version available in Quaternary Science Reviews (2016) 151, p. 212-227. The stability of contemporary ice sheets is influenced by the discharge from ice streams - corridors of fast-flowing ice bounded by ice flowing an order of magnitude slower. Reconstructions...
