Ice-sheet and glacier modelling
The physics of ice sheet dynamics are presented, with an emphasis on the recently developed understanding of the marine ice sheet instability. The relationship between the shallow approximations to the mechanical equations and the Stokes equations is considered, and the approximations for ice sheets...
