• 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 ...
    • Physical analysis of an Antarctic ice core—towards an integration of micro- and macrodynamics of polar ice 

      Weikusat, Ilka; Jansen, DanielaORCIDiD; Binder, TobiasORCIDiD; Eichler, Jan; Faria, Sérgio H.; Wilhelms, FrankORCIDiD; Kipfstuhl, Sepp; Sheldon, Simon; Miller, HeinrichORCIDiD; Dahl-Jensen, Dorthe; Kleiner, Thomas (Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2016)
      Microstructures from deep ice cores reflect the dynamic conditions of the drill location as well as the thermodynamic history of the drill site and catchment area in great detail. Ice core parameters (crystal lattice-preferred ...
    • 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 ...
