ESF Micro-DICE
Micro-DICE is an ESF funded research networking programme to advance our knowledge of the dynamic behaviour of ice. The main interests of this networking programme are the grain and subgrain scale microstructure of ice, because they are crucial state variables that link atomic-scale processes to the macroscopic behaviour of ice, including its rheology and transport properties. Improved analysis, modelling and interpretation of ice microstructures are imperative for a better understanding of the flow and evolution of large ice bodies, from polar ice caps, mountain glaciers, sea ice to planetary ice.
