A fully three-dimensional finite-element model applied to velocities on Storglaciären, Sweden

Abstract A finite-element model that solves the stress-balance equations for glacier dynamics in three dimensions has been developed by extending previous flow-plane models. This model retains all terms of the stress tensor and uses a Glen-type power law for viscosity calculations. In the paper, the...
