Microorganisms could play a significant role in shaping the properties of ice. This overview examines the existing knowledge on the influence of microorganisms on ice, focusing on glacial, polar, and marine ice systems. The interaction between microorganisms and ice mechanics is complex and multifaceted. Studies have shown that microbial activity, including biofilm formation, enzymatic processes, and ice nucleation, can impact ice strength and int interaction with structures. Microbial colonization has been found to weaken ice structures, alter ice permeability, and influence ice deformation behavior. Additionally, microbial communities associated with ice surfaces have been shown to enhance ice adhesion and frictional properties. Understanding the role of microorganisms in ice mechanics is crucial for comprehending the dynamics of frozen environments and their response to environmental changes. Further research in this field will contribute to improved predictions of ice behavior and its implications for climate, engineering, and environmental processes.
