Expérimental Description
Entrapped air bubbles are used as proxy for the atmosphere composition at the time the bubbles were entrapped in ice. Knowing how and how fast they are likely to migrate is thus essential in this
context. One of the main driving force for the migration of objects in ice is the pressure-induced premelting around the object. Recent results in our group revealed that solute can drastically impact the presence and thickness of premelted films around objects. The cryoconfocal microscopy tools
developed in our group should provide an unprecedented understanding of the migration of such objects, and in particular how they relate to the solidification conditions and microstructure.
