Position of Ice Divides and Ice Centers on Ice Sheets

Model calculations are made of the magnitude of the shift of the portion of an ice divide on a two dimensional ice sheet and of the “center” (the position of highest elevation) of a circular ice sheet when the rate of accumulation is different on different sides or in different sectors of an ice she...
