A hybrid ice-mélange model based on particle and continuum methods [PDF]
The CryosphereIce mélange, a composite of sea ice and icebergs, can have a major influence on sea-ice–ocean interactions. However, ice mélange has not been represented in climate models because numerically efficient realizations do not exist.

Modelling the influence of marine ice on the dynamics of an idealised ice shelf
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Understanding the dynamic behaviour of ice shelves, specifically the controls on their ability to buttress the flow of ice into the ocean, is critical for predicting future ice-sheet contributions to sea level rise.

Arctic sea ice mass balance in a new coupled ice–ocean model using a brittle rheology framework [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Sea ice is a key component of the Earth's climate system as it modulates the energy exchanges and associated feedback processes at the air–sea interface in polar regions.

Implementation of a brittle sea ice rheology in an Eulerian, finite-difference, C-grid modeling framework: impact on the simulated deformation of sea ice in the Arctic [PDF]
Geoscientific Model DevelopmentWe have implemented the brittle Bingham–Maxwell sea ice rheology (BBM) into SI3, the sea ice component of NEMO. After discussing the numerical aspects and requirements that are specific to the implementation of a brittle rheology in the Eulerian, finite-

On the influence of model physics on simulations of Arctic and Antarctic sea ice [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2011 Two hindcast (1983–2007) simulations are performed with the global, ocean-sea ice models NEMO-LIM2 and NEMO-LIM3 driven by atmospheric reanalyses and climatologies.

Short-Term Rheology of Polycrystalline Ice [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1978 AbstractDeformation characteristics of polycrystalline ice and their dependence on time, temperature, and stress have been analysed on the basis of a phenomenological relation which describes creep in terms of initial elastic, delayed elastic, and permanent strain. It is shown that the effective modulus of ice observed in the laboratory or in the field

Effective Rheology Across the Fragmentation Transition for Sea Ice and Ice Shelves [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 AbstractSea ice and ice shelves can be described by a viscoelastic rheology that is approximately linear elastic and brittle at high strain rates and viscously shear thinning at low strain rates. Brittle ice easily fractures under compressive shear and forms shear bands as the material undergoes a transition to a fragmented, granular state.

Cyclic strengthening of lake ice
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 Further to systematic experiments on the flexural strength of laboratory-grown, fresh water ice loaded cyclically, this paper describes results from new experiments of the same kind on lake ice harvested in Svalbard. The experiments were conducted at −12

Journal of Glaciology, 2016 Englacial temperature is a major control on ice rheology and flow. However, it is difficult to measure at the glacier to ice-sheet scale. As a result, ice-sheet models must make assumptions about englacial temperature and rheology, which affect sea level

Wave–ice interactions in the neXtSIM sea-ice model [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 In this paper we describe a waves-in-ice model (WIM), which calculates ice breakage and the wave radiation stress (WRS). This WIM is then coupled to the new sea-ice model neXtSIM, which is based on the elasto-brittle (EB) rheology.
