Due to tidal interactions in the Earth-Moon system, the spin of the Earth slows down and the
Moon drifts away. This recession of the Moon can now be measured with great precision, but …

Understanding the flow of ice in glaciers and polar ice sheets is of increasing relevance in a
time of potentially significant climate change. The flow of ice has hitherto received relatively …

We study the tidal history of an icy moon, basing our approach on a dissipation model, which
combines viscoelasticity with anelasticity and takes into account the microphysics of …

In order to better understand ice deformation mechanisms, we document the microstructural
evolution of ice with increasing strain. We include data from experiments at relatively low …

A digital image correlation (DIC) technique has been adapted to polycrystalline ice
specimens in order to characterize the development of strain heterogeneities at an …

We use numerical modeling with a full‐system Stokes solver to elucidate the effects of
nonlinear rheology and strain‐induced anisotropy on ice flow at ice divides. We find that …

Ice is a challenging material for understanding the overall behavior of polycrystalline
materials and more specifically the coupling between elastic and viscous e_ects during …

The flow of glaciers and polar ice sheets is controlled by the highly anisotropic rheology of
ice crystals that have hexagonal symmetry (ice lh). To improve our knowledge of ice sheet …

The present study is devoted to the extension to polycrystals of a model-reduction technique
introduced by the authors, called the nonuniform transformation field analysis (NTFA). This …

This study uses a new sampling approach to allow undisturbed sampling without damaging
the natural conditions of granular soils, thanks to the artificial ground freezing (AGF) method …
