This work explores the applicability of LHCE based on sulfolane as safe and sustainable electrolyte for anode‐free Li‐metal batteries (AFLMBs). The performance–surface structure correlation for the anode in full LFP‖Cu AFLMB cells based on sulfolane LHCE is in the focus of our research.

The study focusses on the morphological evolution of worldwide restored intertidal flats. These intertidal flats initially experience high sedimentation rates after the opening of the connection with open waters. The anthropogenic structures cause high morphological instability and are eroded, leading to a self‐cannibalisation of the system.

Three‐Dimensional Simulation of Crack Initiation in ice Shelves at Pinning Points
ABSTRACT Ice shelves are large ice masses floating on the ocean that are still connected to the inland ice of a glacier. Due to high elevations in the bathymetry, the ice shelf can be partially grounded. These areas are called ice rises that act as pinning points.

Primary Transverse Crevasses [PDF]
Measurements of strain-rates on a temperate glacier in a region of initial transverse fracturing indicate a critical strain-rate of 3.5±0.5 × 10−5 d−1, associated with a regional strain-rate gradient of 5 × 10−8 d−1 m−1. At only one section of the glacier is the theoretical longitudinal strain-rate (Nye, 1959[c]) in approximate agreement with the value

Rift propagation signals the last act of the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf despite low basal melt rates
Rift propagation, rather than basal melt, drives the destabilization and disintegration of the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf. Since 2016, rifts have episodically advanced throughout the central ice-shelf area, with rapid propagation events occurring during ...

Theoretical stability of ice shelf basal crevasses with a vertical temperature profile
Basal crevasses threaten the stability of ice shelves through the potential to form rifts and calve icebergs. Furthermore, it is important to determine the dependence of crevasse stability on temperature due to large vertical temperature variations on ...

Quantifying supraglacial meltwater pathways in the Paakitsoq region, West Greenland
Increased summer ice velocities on the Greenland ice sheet are driven by meltwater input to the subglacial environment. However, spatial patterns of surface input and partitioning of meltwater between different pathways to the base remain poorly ...

We investigate the appropriateness of calving or crevasse models from the literature using linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). To this end, we compare LEFM model-predicted stress intensity factors (SIFs) against numerically computed SIFs using the ...

Observed meltwater-induced flexure and fracture at a doline on George VI Ice Shelf, Antarctica
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) observations and ground-based timelapse photography obtained over the record-high 2019/2020 melt season are combined to characterise the flexure and fracture behaviour of a previously formed doline on George VI ...

GPS measurements of tidal modulation of ice flow and seismicity within the grounding zone of Beardmore Glacier show that tidally induced fluctuations of horizontal flow are largest near the grounding line and decrease downstream.
