A solution method is developed for a linear model of ice shelf flexural vibrations in response to ocean waves, in which the ice shelf thickness and seabed beneath the ice shelf vary over distance, and the ice shelf/sub–ice-shelf cavity are connected to the open ocean. The method combines a decomposi...
