title: A unified framework for large-scale fabric evolution models and anisotropic rheologies
abstract: Abstract. Ice is anisotropic, with its viscosity varying by an order of magnitude in different directions when ice crystals align. However, how this variation affects ice flow is not well understood. This is because of a lack of a) models for fabric (the collective distribution of crystal orientations) evolution accurate enough to reproduce observations, and b) knowledge of which anisotropic rheology is most appropriate. Here we address both these problems. First, we review a range of previous m
