Project aim
The break-up of Antarctic ice shelves has highlighted the need for a better understanding of the dominant fracture processes occurring within the ice shelves and whether there is any link to climate variability. Using a combination of in-situ (GPS, seismic) and satellite (imagery, SAR) measurements and airborne ice radar measurements, we will quantify the deformation and fracture processes in different regions, leading to improved fracture mechanics models.
