Crystallographic analysis of temperate ice on Rhonegletscher, Swiss Alps ...
Crystal orientation fabric (COF) analysis provides information about the c-axis orientation of ice grains and the associated anisotropy and microstructural information about deformation and recrystallisation processes within the glacier. This information can be used to introduce modules that fully d...
