- The paper takes an experimental approach to the problem of ice internal friction, and complements the theoretical analysis undertaken by Hatton et al. (2009, _Philos. Mag._ *89*(31):2771-2799). The significance of the work is that the parameter values generated can be applied directly to potential industrial applications in predicting loads on offshore structures in ice-infested waters. This has potential public-policy-making applications, through their planned use as parameterizations of ice mechanics in general circulation models, to provide regional climate predictions that can be used to inform decisions about flood defences, building regulations, and locations for residential development.
