Simulating higher-order fabric structure in a coupled, anisotropic ice-flow model: application to Dome C

DA Lilien, NM Rathmann, CS Hvidberg… - Journal of …, 2023 - cambridge.org
Ice-crystal fabric can induce mechanical anisotropy that significantly affects flow, but ice-flow
models generally do not include fabric development or its effect upon flow. Here, we …

Crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) patterns in uniaxially compressed deuterated ice: quantitative analysis of historical data

NJR Hunter, CJL Wilson, V Luzin - Journal of Glaciology, 2023 - cambridge.org
Strain, temperature and strain rate are crucial factors governing the development of
