title: Seismic Anisotropy of Temperate Ice in Polar Ice Sheets
abstract: Abstract We present a series of simple shear numerical simulations of dynamic recrystallization of two‐phase nonlinear viscous materials that represent temperate ice. First, we investigate the effect of the presence of water on the resulting microstructures and, second, how water influences on P wave ( V p ) and fast S wave ( V s ) velocities. Regardless the water percentage, all simulations evolve from a random fabric to a vertical single maximum. For a purely solid aggregate, the highest V p q
