variations and free surface evolution in the Shallow Ice Approximation (SIA)
Ice sheets and glaciers constitute an enormous water storage, currently correspond-ing to a potential sea level rise of almost 70 meters if all ice was to melt completely. The ice sheets are dynamic components of the global climate system and numerical modeling is a useful tool that can help us unde...
