Any break or rupture through close ice, compact ice, consolidated ice, fast ice, or a single floe resulting from shears and deformation processes. The fracture may contain brash ice and be covered wit
h nilas or young ice. The length may vary from a few meters to several tens of kilometers. In hydrologic terms, deformation process whereby ice is permanently deformed, and fracture occurs.
Pressure process whereby ice is permanently deformed, and rupture oc- curs. Most commonly used to describe breaking across very close pack ice, compact pack ice, and consolidated pack ice.
Sea ice terminology that describes the pressure process whereby ice is permanently deformed, and rupture occurs. This term is most commonly used to describe the breaking across of very close ice, comp
act ice and consolidated ice.
A pressure process whereby ice is permanently deformed, and rupture occurs. Most commonly used to describe breaking across fast ice, ice breccia, compact ice and ice fields.
A distinct soil micromorphology, resulting from the effects of freezing and thawing processes, in which soil particles form discrete units that are densely packed
A distinct soil micromorphology, resulting from the effects of freezing and thawing processes, in which soil particles form discrete units that are densely packed.
It is a micromorphological soil structure, which is the result of Freeze-Thaw Processes, and in which the units are either coalescent or with bridges, and the voids are planar. Such structures can be
found in the Andes, associated with patterned ground.
A distinct soil micromorphology, resulting from the effects of freezing and thawing processes, in which soil particles form discrete units that are coalescing
A distinct soil micromorphology, resulting from the effects of freezing and thawing processes, in which soil particles form discrete units that are coalescing.
a framework is recognised as a conceptual structure upon which one may build some system or process. Frameworks may be quite abstract in nature, where increasingly more ‘concrete’ frameworks may also
provide rules or guiding principles in order to constrain solutions that may be required in the implementation of the system or process being developed
