Abstract
In this chapter we discuss how the temperature field affects the ice-mass discharge. After consideration of the local coupling between strain heating and deformation rate, we turn to a discussion whether ice sheets may acquire different steady—state profiles for identical environmental conditions. To this end we use both simple integrated models (considering the total heat budget again), and more explicit calculations with a numerical model.
