Glaciology

a reduced ice-flow model for thin, slowly sloping ice in which flow is driven by local surface slope and vertical shear.

In glaciology, shallow ice approximation refers to a reduced ice-flow model for thin, slowly sloping ice in which flow is driven by local surface slope and vertical shear. This meaning comes from Hutter (1983) in Theoretical glaciology.[1]
