Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves
- Abstract:
-
Understanding the mass balance of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets is essential to make accurate projections of global sea-level rise. Beyond their mechanics as viscous fluid flows, the mass balance is influenced by fracturing, a complex and challenging aspect of glaciology. In grounding zones and floating ice shelves, ice fracturing is often associated with flexure modulated by ocean tides and subglacial water flow, as well as stresses created by shearing, such as pinning points.
