• Competition between grain growth and grain-size reduction in polar ice 

      Roessiger, Jens; Bons, Paul D.; Griera, Albert; Jessel, Mark W.; Evans, Lynn; Montagnat, Maurine; Kipfstuhl, Sepp; Faria, Sergio H.; Weikusat, Ilka (Journal of Glaciology, 2011)
      Static (or ‘normal’) grain growth, i.e. grain boundary migration driven solely by grain boundary energy, is considered to be an important process in polar ice. Many ice-core studies report a continual increase in average ...
    • Subgrain boundaries in Antarctic ice quantified by X-ray Laue diffraction 

      Weikusat, Ilka; Miyamoto, Atsushi; Faria, Sergio H.; Kipfstuhl, Sepp; Azuma, Nobuhiko; Hondoh, Takeo (Journal of Glaciology, 2011)
      Ice in polar ice sheets undergoes deformation during its flow towards the coast. Deformation and recrystallization microstructures such as subgrain boundaries can be observed and recorded using high-resolution light ...
