Adaptively constraining radar attenuation and temperature across the Thwaites Glacier catchment using bed echoes

Englacial temperature is a major control on ice rheology and flow.However, it is difficult to measure at the glacier to ice-sheet scale.As a result, ice-sheet models must make assumptions about englacial temperature and rheology, which affect sea level projections.This is problematic if cartoon martian with big head fundamental processes are not ca
