The effect of melt-channel geometry on ice-shelf flow

Basal channels are incised troughs formed by elevated melt beneath ice shelves. Channels often coincide with shear margins, suggesting feedbacks between channel formation and shear. However, the effect of channel position and shape on ice-shelf flow has not been systematically explored. We use a mod...
