Short summary
Ice behaves differently depending on its crystal orientation, but how this affects its flow is unclear. We combine a range of previous models into a common equation to better understand crystal alignment. We tested a range of previous models on ice streams and divides, discovering that the best fit to observations comes from (a) assuming neighbouring crystals have the same stress, and (b) through describing the effect of crystal orientation on the flow in a way that allows directional variation.
