Rheology of glacier ice.
A new method for calculating the stress field in bounded ice shelves is used to compare strain rate and deviatoric stress on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica. The analysis shows that strain rate (per second) increases as the third power of deviatoric stress (in newtons per square meter), with a constant of proportionality equal to 2.3 x 10(-25).
متن کاملModelling the impact of submarine frontal melting and ice mélange on glacier dynamics
Submarine melting of the calving face of tidewater glaciers and the mechanical back force applied by the ice mélange layer are two mechanisms generally proposed to explain seasonal variations at the calving front of tidewater glaciers. However, the way these processes affect the calving rate and glacier dynamics remains uncertain. In this study, we used a finite element-based model that solves ...
متن کاملMelting-refreezing at the Glacier Sole and the Isotopic Composition of the Ice
A model for the isotopic composition in .50 and .5 180 of ice formed by refreezing at the glacier sole is developed. This model predicts relatively well the distribution of points representing samples from basal layers of an Arctic a nd an Alpine glac ier on a .50.5 180 diagram . The frozen fraction which is the part of the liquid that refreezes can be determined for each basal ice layer. This ...
متن کاملMelting of ice under pressure.
The melting of ice under pressure is investigated with a series of first-principles molecular dynamics simulations. In particular, a two-phase approach is used to determine the melting temperature of the ice-VII phase in the range of 10-50 GPa. Our computed melting temperatures are consistent with existing diamond anvil cell experiments. We find that for pressures between 10 and 40 GPa, ice mel...
متن کاملSimulation of ice-sheet melting
A simple model is presented where the temperature, extent and thickness of sea ice is predicted in a numerical simulation. The model is based on Newton’s law of cooling with added terms to account for black-body emission by the ice and solar and atmospheric radiation. The ice is assumed to be an ellipsoid, with the temperature being uniform throughout. Coupled equations are developed for the te...
