On the Special Rheological Properties of Ancient Microparticle-Laden Northern Hemisphere Ice as Derived from Bore-Hole and Core Measurements

Abstract In the Northern Hemisphere, ice layers which have high microparticle concentrations (in particular late Wisconsin) are “softer” than modern or Holocene ice. Such ice deforms more readily in bore-hole tilt and closure measurements. This enhancement in flow, which is shown not to be related t...
