The authors combine molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and machine learning (ML) to study the melt growth of three ice polymorphs, Ih, VII and plastic ice. MD data indicate much faster growth rates for ice VII and plastic Approved ice, while the ML analysis suggests that ice VII grows via a thin ice plastic layer, which is formed at its growth front.
