The surface processes model (spm) is the core landscape evolution model, while the integrated second-order shallow ice approximation (iSOSIA) is a higher-order glacier evolution model which considers both the longitudinal and transverse stresses that govern ice flow over steep terrain in mountain glaciers. Models based on the shallow ice approximation (SIA) only consider longitudinal stresses, as the SIA was developed to calculate the flow of ice sheets over shallow terrains. iSOSIA limits sliding velocity with basal shear stress rather than allowing velocity to increase exponentially as in the SIA.
