Temporal evolution of the Petermann Ice Shelf estuary constrained by satellite remote sensing observations

Supraglacial rivers may reduce ice-shelf instability by draining meltwater from the ice-shelf surface, limiting loading-induced stresses from ponded meltwater. However, if a supraglacial river incises to below sea level at the ice-shelf front, forming an estuary, this effect may be negated. Water flow reversal in the e...

Elevated fluid pressure in compression facilitates flexural reverse faulting

Elastic flexure of tectonic plates shapes large-scale topographic features and can induce notable slip on lithosphere-scale faults. At mid-ocean ridges, recent evidence shows that up to 50% of extensional fault offsets formed within axial valleys can be reversed by compressional slip across valley flanks. While standar...
