The creep of ice shelves: interpretation of observed behaviour

Thomas, R.H.. 1973 The creep of ice shelves: interpretation of observed behaviour. Journal of Glaciology, 12 (64). 55-70. 10.3189/S002214300002270X

Abstract
Available measurements of creep rates and dimensions of ice shelves are used, in conjunction with equations derived in a companion paper (Thomas, 1973), to evaluate the flow law parameters B and n for stresses down to 104 N m−2. The results show good agreement with laboratory work at higher stresses. Adoption of these values of B and n enables us to examine the restraining effects on an ice shelf of obstructions such as areas of grounding.
