Glaciology

a reduced ice-flow model for ice shelves and streams in which flow is dominated by membrane stresses rather than vertical shear.

In glaciology, shallow shelf approximation refers to a reduced ice-flow model for ice shelves and streams in which flow is dominated by membrane stresses rather than vertical shear. This meaning comes from MacAyeal (1989) in Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth.[1]
