The influence of firn layer material properties on surface crevasse propagation in glaciers and ice shelves

The influence of firn layer material properties on surface crevasse propagation in glaciers and ice shelves

<p>Linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) models have been used to estimate crevasse depths in glaciers and to represent iceberg calving in ice sheet models. However, existing LEFM models assume glacier ice to be homogeneous and utilize the mechanical properties of fully consolidated ice. Us...
