“…These studies have illuminated numerous physical processes related to the thermomechanics of ice flow (e.g., Schoof, 2004Schoof, , 2012Hindmarsh, 2004), the hydromechanical properties of subglacial till (e.g., Kyrke-Smith and others, 2013;Robel and others, 2016;others, 2016, 2017;Lipovsky and Dunham, 2017), the transport of subglacial till to form shear-margin moraines (Stokes and Clark, 2002;Hindmarsh and Stokes, 2008) and the detailed mechanics of the shear margin as a boundary-layer between a fast-flowing ice stream and the slow, convergent flow of an adjacent ice ridge (e.g., Schoof, 2012;Haseloff and others, 2015). Most of these studies highlight the importance of heating through viscous dissipation, a prominent control on ice rheology because the softness of ice varies exponentially with temperature (Cuffey and Paterson, 2010;Hudleston, 2015).…”
