Researchers use lab data to rewrite equation for deformation, flow of watery glacier ice
Laboratory experiments designed to deform ice at its pressure-melting temperature were like grabbing a bagel at the top and the bottom, then twisting the two halves to smear the cream cheese in the middle, said Iowa State's Neal Iverson. The resulting data could lead to more accurate models of temperate glacier ice and better predictions of glacier flow and sea-level rise.
