Deskripsi
Subglacial landforms, formed by glacial processes operating over long timescales, influence ice dynamics. Here, the authors show how mega-scale landforms at an Antarctic ice stream grounding zone modulate basal water flow, causing extensive channels in the ice shelf downstream that may impact its structure.
