Cold fusion burst on the scene in March 1989, when two previously reputable chemists, B. Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann, announced to the press that they had induced hydrogen atoms to undergo fusion - the process that powers the sun - merely by running electric current through palladium electrodes in a jar filled with heavy water. 3, record 2, English, - cold%20fusion

At least part of the movement probably takes place by regelation around small irregularities in the bedrock floor. The increased pressure on the onset side of any protuberance leads to local melting. The water then flows to the lee side where it refreezes under conditions of diminished pressure. 3, record 3, English, - regelation

Over the past few decades, most Arctic glaciers have been retreating and thinning in response to climate change and are predicted to shrink further over the next few decades. Many Arctic glaciers are polythermal, with warm ice (at 0°) in their interior, where ice is thick and is warmed to the pressure melt point, and cold ice (below 0°C) around their margins where ice is thin. 2, record 4, English, - warm%20ice
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 CONT
A thermally complex glacier with both warm and cold ice. Typically, warm ice occurs where the ice is thickest as a result of geothermal heating, whilst the snout and margins of the glacier are frozen to the bed. 3, record 4, English, - warm%20ice

L'apparition d’une poche d’eau dans un glacier sous-tend le fait que la partie du glacier où elle se développe est tempérée, c'est-à-dire que la glace est à son point de fusion. La limite entre la glace froide et la glace tempérée se situe, dans les Alpes, aux environs de 4000 m d’altitude(plus ou moins quelques centaines de mètres selon l'exposition, et aussi l'épaisseur du glacier : un glacier très épais peut être froid en surface et tempéré à sa base). 3, record 4, French, - glace%20temp%C3%A9r%C3%A9e

L’exploration des sites sous-glaciaires a permis de souligner l’opposition de glaces «tempérées» avec une température proche de zéro degré centigrade à l’interface glace-roche et de glaces «froides» (interface à une température nettement négative donc empêchant la fusion par surpression). 4, record 4, French, - glace%20temp%C3%A9r%C3%A9e
