A two-dimensional shallow ice-flow model, yielding the glacier geometry at selected time intervals, is used to simulate the development of Spørteggbreen (1) from 8000 cal. yr BP to the present, (2) from ad 2011 to 2050, and (3) extending forward in time to ad 2100 and 2200. Glacier-surface geometry,...
