We are inviting abstracts for session CR5.1 on « modeling ice sheets and glaciers » of the EGU 2016 meeting in Vienna (17-22 April 2016).
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 constitutive 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, grounding line motion and ice-sheet model intercomparisons.
happy new year
Gaël Durand, Frank Pattyn and Guðfinna Aðalgeirsdóttir
