The time-averaged motion of shore-fast ice near a small Arctic island is analysed through the solution of the momentum equation for the ice cover using the Galerkin finite element method coupled with an adjoint sensitivity formulation. A linear-viscous rheology is used. Shore boundaries were modeled...
