We review the findings of approximately 60 years of in situ and remote sensing studies of
glacier crevasses, as well as the three broad classes of numerical models now employed to …

The largest uncertainty in future sea-level rise is loss of ice from the Greenland and Antarctic
Ice Sheets. Ice shelves, freely floating platforms of ice that fringe the ice sheets, play a …

Fracture of viscoelastic solids plays an important role in many applications but it is not yet
well understood. In addition to the time and rate dependent response of viscoelastic …

There is a need for computational models capable of predicting meltwater-assisted crevasse
growth in glacial ice. Mass loss from glaciers and ice sheets is the largest contributor to sea …

The phase-field model has been employed for fracture analysis over the last decade. One of
the main advantages is that the fracture evolution does not depend on any explicit criterion …

Calving is a primary process of mass ablation for glaciers and ice sheets, though it still
eludes a general physical law. Here, we propose a calving framework based on continuum …

Calving of icebergs is a major negative component of polar ice-sheet mass balance. Here
we present a new calving model relying on both continuum damage mechanics and linear …

Around the perimeter of Antarctica, much of the ice sheet discharges to the ocean through
floating ice shelves. The buttressing provided by ice shelves is critical for modulating the flux …

We present a novel poro-damage-viscoelastic model for predicting the failure response of
fluid-saturated porous geomaterials. The Generalized Maxwell model is introduced for the …

We simulate the glue-spall stress due to mechanical interactions between a frozen saline
solution (brine-ice composite) and a non-air entrained concrete surface including the impact …
