Change in ice rheology during climate variations – implications for ice flow modelling and dating of the EPICA Dome C core
International audience The study of the distribution of crystallographic orientations (i.e., the fabric) along ice cores provides information on past and current ice flow in ice-sheets. Besides the usually observed formation of a vertical single maximum fabric, the EPICA Dome C ice core (EDC) shows...
