Stress Redistribution Explains Anti-correlated Subglacial Pressure Variations

Stress Redistribution Explains Anti-correlated Subglacial Pressure Variations

We used a finite element model to interpret anti-correlated pressure variations at the base of a glacier to demonstrate the importance of stress redistribution in the basal ice. We first investigated two pairs of load cells installed 20 m apart at the base of the 210 m thick Engabreen glacier in Nor...
