Why Glen’s Flow Rate Factor A is Tied to Temperature and the Implications of Treating it as Constant in Glaciology
GlaciologyThe Glen Flow Law The Glen Flow Law is an important mathematical relationship used in glaciology to describe the deformation of ice. It relates the strain rate of ice to the applied stress through a power law relationship. The flow law is expressed as ε̇ = A(τ)τ^n where ε̇ is the strain rate, τ is
