Super slippery surface concepts: A novel explanation for the dynamics and flow instability of glaciers and ice sheets

The driving mechanisms of glacier fast flow and the cyclical instability inherent in ice streams and surging glaciers are not fully understood. Current theories suggest fast flow is driven by glacier sliding and basal deformation facilitated by water at the ice–bed interface and/or the presence of w...
