This study investigates the effects of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) concentrations ranging from 10 to 25 ppm on the flow and fabric of polycrystalline ice under compression at temperatures of -3\u00b0C and -12\u00b0C. The results show that H2SO4-doped polycrystalline ice deforms significantly faster than high-purity polycrystalline ice, with the deformation rate being 1.5 to 3 times higher. At -12\u00b0C, the presence of H2SO4 within the grains induces the most ice softening, whereas at -3\u00b0C, H2SO4\u0027s softening effects are observed both within the grains and at grain boundaries. The migration of H2SO4 to grain boundaries during deformation leads to the formation of a liquid-like layer, with increased solubility at higher temperatures potentially homogenizing the impurities within the ice matrix. This homogenization at -3\u00b0C suggests that post-depositional processes near the bed of ice sheets could significantly alter sulfate records. At -12\u00b0C, where homogenization is absent, impurity-induced dislocation processes may heavily influence deformation and impurity migration. Additionally, the comparison of natural ice with lab-grown samples indicates that fabric development significantly impacts compressive strength and creep rates, with implications for the understanding of impurity-induced deformation processes in polar ice.", "east": null, "geometry": null, "keywords": "Antarctica; Cryosphere", "locations": "Antarctica", "north": null, "nsf_funding_programs": null, "persons": "Ogunmolasuyi, Ayobami", "project_titles": null, "projects": null, "repositories": null, "science_programs": null, "south": null, "title": "The Impacts of the Microstructural Location of H2SO4 on the Flow of Polycrystalline Ice", "uid": "601831", "west": null}, {"awards": "1851022 Fudge, Tyler", "bounds_geometry": ["POINT(123.33 -75.09)"], "date_created": "Fri, 22 Dec 2023 00:00:00 GMT", "description": "Volcanic deposition of sulfuric acid in ice cores is important both for understanding past volcanic activity and for synchronizing ice core timescales. Sulfuric acid has a low eutectic point, so it can potentially exist in liquid at grain boundaries and veins, accelerating chemical diffusion. A high effective diffusivity would allow post-depositional diffusion to obscure the climate history and the peak matching among older portions of ice cores. Here, we use records of sulfate from the EPICA Dome C (EDC) ice core to estimate the effective diffusivity of sulfuric acid in ice. We focus on EDC because multiple glacial-interglacial cycles are preserved, allowing analysis for long timescales and deposition in similar climates. We calculate the mean concentration gradient and the width of prominent volcanic events, and analyze the evolution of each with depth/age. We find the effective diffusivities for interglacials and glacial maximums to be 5 \u00b1 3 \u00d7 10-9 m2 a-1, an order of magnitude lower than a previous estimate derived from the Holocene portion of EDC (Barnes et al., 2003). The effective diffusivity may be even smaller if the bias from artificial smoothing from the sampling is accounted for. Effective diffusivity is not obviously affected by the ice temperature until about -10\u00b0C, 3000m depth, which is also where anomalous sulfate peaks begin to be observed (Traversi et al., 2009). Low effective diffusivity suggests that sulfuric acid is not readily diffusing in liquid-like veins in the upper portions of the Antarctic ice sheet and that records may be preserved in deep, old ice if the ice temperature remains well below the pressure melting point.", "east": 123.33, "geometry": ["POINT(123.33 -75.09)"], "keywords": "Antarctica", "locations": "Antarctica", "north": -75.09, "nsf_funding_programs": "Antarctic Glaciology", "persons": "Fudge, T.
