Analogue modelling of the influence of ice shelf collapse on the flow of ice sheets grounded below sea-level

[摘要] In this work we use analogue modelling to analyse the effect of sudden ice shelf breakup on the flow of ice draining an ice sheet grounded below sea level. Experimental results confirm that the removal of the buttressing effect exerted by the ice shelf re
