This is the first complete account of the physics of the creep and
fracture of ice, and their interconnectivity. It investigates the
deformation of low-pressure ice, which is fundamental to glaciers,
polar ice sheets and the uppermost region of icy moons of the outer
Solar System. The book discusses ice structure and its defects, and
describes the relationship between structure and mechanical
properties. It reviews observations and measurements, and then
interprets them in terms of physical mechanisms. The book provides
a road-map to future studies of ice mechanics, such as the
behaviour of glaciers and ice sheets in relation to climate change
and the dating of deep ice cores. It also highlights how this
knowledge is transferable into an understanding of other
crystalline materials. Written by experts in the field, it is ideal
for graduate students, engineers and scientists in Earth and
planetary science, and materials science.
