= Newtonian grounding-line flux

Matching a slowly varying grounded Newtonian sheet to a freely extending Newtonian shelf gives, in a standard two-dimensional model,
$$
q_G=\frac{\sqrt{gg'}}{6\nu}h_G^3,
$$
where $h_G$ is the flotation thickness and $g'=g(\rho_w-\rho)/\rho_w$ is the <reduced gravity>.
