Ice streams as the arteries of an ice sheet: their mechanics, stability and significance

MR Bennett - Earth-Science Reviews, 2003 - Elsevier
Ice streams are corridors of fast ice flow (ca. 0.8 km/year) within an ice sheet and are
responsible for discharging the majority of the ice and sediment within them. Consequently …
