  Information - CR150 Modelling ice sheets and glaciers

Event Information
This session is intended to attract a broad range of ice-sheet and glacier modelling contributions, welcoming applied and theoretical contributions. Theoretical topics that are encouraged are higher-order mechanical models, data inversion and assimilation, representation of other earth sub-systems in ice-sheet models, and the incorporation of basal processes and novel consititutive relationships in these models.

Applications of newer modelling themes to ice-sheets and glaciers past and present are particularly encouraged, in particular those considering ice streams, rapid change and grounding line motion.

Preliminary List of Solicited Speakers
Ian Joughin, (APL, UW) et al. "Basal Shear Stress for Pine Island and Thwaites glaciers, Antarctica"

David Pollard, (EMS Earth and Environmental Systems Institute, PSU), "Grounding-line behavior in a heuristically coupled ice sheet-shelf model"
