Regularized Coulomb friction laws for ice sheet sliding: Application to Pine Island Glacier, Antarctica

I Joughin, BE Smith, CG Schoof - Geophysical research letters, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The choice of the best basal friction law to use in ice‐sheet models remains a source of
uncertainty in projections of sea level. The parameters in commonly used friction laws can …
