Within the past decade, X-ray micro computed tomography (µCT) has become an advanced
non-destructive tool to analyse the internal structure of opaque materials. In addition to high …

This paper provides an overview of techniques used to characterize the microstructure of
snow, firn and ice. These range from traditional optical microscopy techniques such as …

We simulate the glue-spall stress due to mechanical interactions between a frozen saline
solution (brine-ice composite) and a non-air entrained concrete surface including the impact …

The hydraulic permeability of sea ice is an important property that influences the role of sea
ice in the environment in many ways. As it is difficult to measure, so far not many …

Hypothesis Characterizing the microstructure of an ice/surface interface and its effect on the
icephobic behavior of surfaces remains a significant challenge. Introducing X-ray Computed …

Hypothesis Ice friction plays a crucial role in both basic study and practical use. Various
strategies for controlling ice friction have been developed. However, one unsolved puzzle …

Abstract Characterization of the evolution of pores in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) under
volcanic ash (VA) corrosion is essential for assessing coating premature failure. As a …

Field investigations of the properties of heavily melted “rotten” Arctic sea ice were carried out
on shorefast and drifting ice off the coast of Utqiaġvik (formerly Barrow), Alaska, during the …

Sea ice albedo plays an important role in modulating the climate of Earth and is affected by
low background concentrations of oil droplets within the ice matrix that absorb solar …

Sea-ice pore microstructure constrains ice transport properties, affecting fluid flow relevant to
oil-in-ice transport and biogeochemical processes. Motivated by a lack of pore …
