Wire regelation is a common tabletop demonstration of the pressure-dependence of the ice
melting temperature where a loaded wire moves from top to bottom through a block of ice …

It is well known that regelation may occur by pressure-melting in front of a wire and
refreezing at the rear. The velocity of the wire has been observed to have values ranging …

Glacier sliding over small obstacles relies on melting on their upstream sides and refreezing
downstream. Previous treatments have appealed to 'pressure melting'as the cause of the …

Ice stream discharge responds to a balance between gravity, basal friction and lateral drag.
Appreciable viscous heating occurs in shear margins between ice streams and adjacent …

We use daily surface velocities measured over several weeks in 2007 and 2008 on a slowly
surging glacier in Yukon, Canada, to examine the ordinary melt-season dynamics in the …

Spatially variable basal conditions are thought to govern how ice sheets behave at glacial
time scales (> 1000 years) and responsible for changes in dynamics between the core and …

Existence of a very thin layer of adsorbed water adjacent to particles embedded in ice allows
relative motion between ice and particles even at sub-freezing temperatures if there are …

The study of glaciers is fundamental to assessing climate change and its impacts on the
planet. However, the important processes related to glacier flow are not all identified and …

Recent theoretical modelling by Lliboutry (1993) has suggested that standard models of
glacier sliding by regelation are flawed. Lliboutry's analysis predicts that melting of ice in …

The results of regelation experiments, in which a single object is pulled through ice, cannot
be applied directly to the problem of basal sliding in glaciers because the two systems have …
