+Plain-language summary:<br>
+The ice at the base of certain glaciers moves over soft sediments
+that route meltwater through the pore spaces in between the sediment
+grains. The ice shears the sediment, but it is not clear if this slow
+shearing is capable of changing the structure or volume of the pore space,
+or the path of the meltwater that flows through the sediment. To study
+the relations between the shearing of the sediment and the changes in its
+pore space, we use computer simulations that portray the sediment as a
+collection of closely packed spherical grains, where the pores are filled
+with meltwater. To shear the simulated sediment, the grains at the top
+are pushed with fixed speeds in the horizontal direction. Despite the
+slow shear, which is generally thought of as having no effect on pore
+space, our results show that shearing changes the sizes of the pores
+in between the grains, where large pores are formed near the top of the
+sediment layer. If the grains at the top are pushed with uneven speeds,
+then the largest pores are formed in the areas where grain speeds vary
+the most. We show that the exchange of meltwater between neighboring
+pores is faster than the movement of the grains, indicating that the
+meltwater can adjust quickly to changing pore space.
+<br><br>
+Abstract:<br>
+Many subglacial environments consist of a fine-grained, deformable
+sediment bed, known as till, hosting an active hydrological system that
+routes meltwater. Observations show that the till undergoes substantial
+shear deformation as a result of the motion of the overlying ice. The
+deformation of the till, coupled with the dynamics of the hydrological
+system, is further affected by the substantial strain rate variability
+in subglacial conditions resulting from spatial heterogeneity at the
+bed. However, it is not clear if the relatively low magnitudes of strain
+rates affect the bed structure or its hydrology. We study how laterally
+varying shear along the ice-bed interface alters sediment porosity and
+affects the flux of meltwater through the pore spaces. We use a discrete
+element model consisting of a collection of spherical, elasto-frictional
+grains with water-saturated pore spaces to simulate the deformation
+of the granular bed. Our results show that a deforming granular layer
+exhibits substantial spatial variability in porosity in the pseudo-static
+shear regime, where shear strain rates are relatively low. In particular,
+laterally varying shear at the shearing interface creates a narrow zone
+of elevated porosity which has increased susceptibility to plastic
+failure. Despite the changes in porosity, our analysis suggests that
+the pore pressure equilibrates near-instantaneously relative to the
+deformation at critical state, inhibiting potential strain rate dependence
+of the deformation caused by bed hardening or weakening resulting from
+pore pressure changes. We relate shear variation to porosity evolution
+and drainage element formation in actively deforming subglacial tills.
