Increased rate of acceleration on Pine Island Glacier strongly coupled to changes in gravitational driving stress
Pine Island Glacier, Antarctica, has been undergoing several related changes for at least two decades; these include acceleration, thinning and grounding line retreat. During the first major ground-based study between 2006 and 2008, GPS receivers were used to monitor ice flow from 55 km to 171 km in...
