Today, the Nature-group journal Communications Earth & Environment
published my paper on sediment beneath ice. Together with co-authors
Liran Goren, University of the Negev (Israel), and Jenny Suckale,
Stanford University (California, USA), we present a new computer
model that simulates the coupled mechanical behavior of ice, sediment,
-and meltwater. We calibrate the model against real materials, and

provide a way for including sediment transport in ice-flow models.
We also show that water-pressure variations with the right frequency
can create create very weak sections inside the bed, and this greatly
