The work focuses on modeling the warming of a glacier due to heat release during the refreezing of meltwater in glacier crevasses (cryo-hydrologic warming). The simulation is performed for a polythermal Arctic glacier with a regular network of crevasses filled with water at 0 ℃, for the 1-year perio...
