Summary: | Currently in the era of “Global Warmingâ€, many scientists have their attention turned to the topic of rising sea level. At the forefront of this issue are scientists investigating ice sheet dynamics. With the help of many other scientists, those trying to model ice sheets seek to predict sea rise. Accomplishing this goal is difficult due to the fact that ice sheet modeling is mathematically and computationally complicated. In this talk I will present some of the basic theory behind ice sheet dynamics and the work I have done with Dr. Jesse Johnson (Computer Science) concerning 3− D Full Stokes ice sheet models. |
