Bridging the Gap Between Experimental and Natural Fabrics: Modeling Ice Stream Fabric Evolution and its Comparison With Ice‐Core Data
Journal: Journal of Geophysical Research Solid Earth

Abstract Fabrics, also known as textures or crystallographic preferred orientations, reveal information about the deformation history of the flow of polycrystalline materials, including glacial ice, olivine in the mantle, and feldspar and quartz in the crust. Ice fabrics can have an order‐of‐magnitude effect on the ease of flow in ice sheets. However, due to the choice of ice core drill site locations, the outputs of fabric models have mostly been compared to observations from the least dynamic
