Effect of higher-order stress gradients on the centennial mass evolution of the Greenland ice sheet
We use a three-dimensional thermo-mechanically coupled model of the Greenland ice sheet to assess the effects of marginal perturbations on volume changes on centennial timescales. The model is designed to allow for five ice dynamic formulations using different approximations to the force balance. Th...
