Flow of North Polar Cap

Hvidberg, C.S. 2003. Relationship between topography and flow in the north polar cap on Mars. Annals of Glaciology 37. 363-369.
Greve, R. 2000. Waxing and waning of the perennial north polar H2O ice cap of Mars over obliquity cycles. Icarus 144. 419-431.
Greve, R. et al. 2003. Ice flow and isostasy of the north polar cap of Mars. Planetary and Space Science 51. 193-204.
Greve, R. et al. Evolution of the north-polar cap of Mars: a modelling study. Planetary and Space Science. 52. 775-787.

We will read Hvidberg (2003) on the influence of troughs on flow, and Greve et al. (2004) for the general flow and characteristics of the cap over the past few Ma. Have a look at the other 2 papers to get an impression of the model and the treatment of isostasy.
