Creep enhancement and sliding in a temperate, hard-bedded alpine glacier by J.-P. Roldán-Blasco, A. Gilbert, L. Piard, F. Gimbert, C. Vincent, O. Gagliardini, A. Togaibekov, A. Togaibekov, A. Walpersdorf, N. Maier

“…We further observe that internal ice deformation exhibits seasonal variability similar to that concerning surface velocity, indicating that the local basal sliding velocity exhibits no significant seasonal variation. We suggest that these changes in deformation rate are due to variations in the stress field, driven by contrasting changes in subglacial hydrology conditions between the sides and center of the glacier. …”
