Increasing the Glen–Nye Power‐Law Exponent Accelerates Ice‐Loss Projections for the Amundsen Sea Embayment, West Antarctica

Abstract Glacier flow is typically modeled using a power‐law rheology known as the Glen–Nye flow law, with the power n assumed to be 3. However, recent research and past observations suggest that n=4 may better represent ice flow in some locations. We lack a quantitative understanding of how much n...
