    Abstract : With continued warming regional surface air temperatures around the Artic in recent decades, there is growing importance in understanding how ice sheet dynamics interact with a shifting global climate system. This research investigates the spatial variability of sub-glacial hydrology under land terminating ice sheets in Western GrIS, when applying varying overburden ice pressures within Shreve’s (1972) hydraulic potential equation.
