Ice flow, fractures, and damage
Ice sheet models assume a flow law for solid ice. However, damaged/crevassed ice may will effectively be less viscous than undamaged ice. We need a better way to handle this in ice flow models.

Failure strength of glacier ice inferred from Greenland crevasses
We uncover a new failure criterion for ice using a large dataset of greenland crevasses. Abstract Ice fractures when subject to stress that exceeds the material failure strength. Previous studies have …
