Description
After introducing some salient feature of spin-ice (phenomenology and theory) I shall the dynamics of quenches in the bi-dimensional case. In particular I shall describe quenches into the disordered, ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic phases. The role played by defects (magnetic moment and Dirac strings) will be discussed.
