Ice flow, fractures, and damage
Ice-sheet models typically treat glacier ice as a viscous material whose flow depends on temperature and stress. However, real glaciers and ice sheets are often heavily crevassed and fractured. Damage …

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 …
