Development of a low-temperature immersion microscopy technique for ice research
Annals of Glaciology, 2023 Perennial ice can be studied for many purposes, including paleoclimate records or rheological properties. For most of those purposes, the ice microstructure must be studied, often through optical microscopy.

Upstream flow effects revealed in the EastGRIP ice core using Monte Carlo inversion of a two-dimensional ice-flow model [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 The Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) is the largest active ice stream on the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) and a crucial contributor to the ice-sheet mass balance.

Neutron diffraction and NMR relaxation studies of structural variation and phase transformations for water/ice in SBA-15 silica: I. The over-filled case [PDF]
, 2006 Neutron diffraction and NMR relaxation measurements have been made of water/ice in SBA-15, a mesoporous silica constituting an ordered array of cylindrical mesopores of pore diameter similar to 86 angstrom, over the temperature range 180-300 K in a ...

A novel conceptual model for Dansgaard–Oeschger event dynamics based on ice-core data [PDF]
Climate of the PastThis study introduces a novel dynamical systems model designed to capture the highly non-periodic nature of Dansgaard–Oeschger (DO) events. Such events are difficult to model adequately due to their variable durations (some lasting around 1 century ...

Measuring temperature of the ice surface during its formation by using infrared instrumentation [PDF]
, 2007 A non-destructive remote sensing technique was used to measure the surface temperature of a thin macroscopic water film flowing on a growing asymmetric ice accretion during its formation inside an icing research wind tunnel.

Scientific Reports, 2018 The Barents Sea Ice Sheet was a marine-based ice sheet, i.e., it rested on the Barents Sea floor during the Last Glacial Maximum (21 ky BP). The Bjørnøyrenna Ice Stream was the largest ice stream draining the Barents Sea Ice Sheet and is regarded as an ...

Strengthening ice through cyclic loading
Journal of Glaciology, 2017 New experiments reveal that the flexural strength of fresh water, columnar-grained ice loaded normal to the columns may be increased by about a factor of two upon reversed cyclic loading at a frequency of ~0.1 Hz at stress amplitudes of 1.3–2.6 MPa.

Freezing nucleation apparatus puts new slant on study of biological ice nucleators in precipitation [PDF]
, 2014 For decades, drop-freezing instruments have contributed to a better understanding of biological ice nucleation and its likely implications for cloud and precipitation development. Yet, current instruments have limitations.

Pore Accessibility in Amorphous Solid Water
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 The porous nature of amorphous solid water (ASW) can significantly effect the chemical evolution of any planetary or astrophysical surface it forms on due to its ability to trap and retain volatiles. The amount of volatiles that can enter an ASW grain or
