BUBBLE COALESCENCE IN ICE AS A TOOL FOR THE STUDY OF ITS DEFORMATION HISTORY.
An analysis is made of the rate of bubble coalescence in a deforming ice mass. A total strain of at least 8 is required before appreciable coalescence occurs. The analysis has been applied to deforming ice shelves and ice sheets. No appreciable coalescence is expected in ice shelves but coalescence...
