Ice rubble consolidation

A test series has been performed under laboratory conditions to investigate the rate of consolidation (i.e. refreezing) of broken ice (ice rubble). The tests were done with model ice (representing sea ice) and with freshwater ice. In total, sixteen experiments were performed in which several test pa...
