Abstract

Mapping the spatial distribution of c-axis orientations in ice thin sections is not much more difficult than preparing c-axis scatter plots but can reveal additional information about procesess responsible for the observed fabric and texture of the ice. Distributions of angles between c-axes of neighbouring grains from the Byrd Station (West Antarctica) ice core suggest that polygonization causes average grain-size to stabilize below 400m depth. -Authors
