Crystal orientation fabric anisotropy causes directional hardening of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream - Nature Communications

This study uses radio-echo sounding measurements, ice-core data and models to map the spatial variation in ice-crystal orientation in the northeast Greenland Ice Stream and shows how it potentially affects the ice-flow dynamics in this region.
