Greenland Ice-Core Project (EastGRIP) is a drilling project aiming to retrieve a deep ice core in North-East Greenland. The drilling site is on a dynamically active location, where the surface flow velocities [...] previous deep ice core sites. It is located at the onset of the largest ice stream in Greenland (NEGIS - North-East Greenland ice stream). Ice streams are not very well represented in large scale ice sheet models [...] if not prescribed by inversion methods based on observed surface velocities. Their contribution to sea level projections is thus not very well constrained and a source of uncertainty. Three regimes can
