Layer-layer interactions in atmospheric, cryospheric, and stellar dynamics
… by rapid ice flow including icestreams and glacier surge events, which are quasiperiodic fast flow episodes. Mechanisms for surge initiation remain unknown and debated. Here, evidence that many surge-type glaciers are underlain by layers of fine, deformable sediment spurs a stability …
