Heat Conduction in Thinning Ice Sheets
Abstract A numerical treatment of the heat conduction in ice sheets subject to vertical shrinking, geothermal and frictional heating from below, and surface accumulation or ablation, is outlined and illustrated with results computed for an arbitrary ice thickness profile. The movement of the ice is...
