Glacier fragmentation on the Southern Patagonian Icefield: a comprehensive analysis of the Upsala Glacier

Glacier fragmentation involves the detachment of tributary glaciers from the main glacier trunk and their subsequent fragmentation into smaller units. This reconfiguration, in turn, can lead to a redistribution of stresses and strain rates affecting the dynamics of the glacier. In our study, we exam...
