Abstract

This talk will provide an overview of mathematical modelling applied to the behaviour of ice sheets and their role in the climate system.  I’ll provide some motivation and background, describe simple approaches to modelling the evolution of the ice sheets as a fluid-flow problem, and discuss some particular aspects of the problem that are active areas of current research.  The talk will involve a variety of interesting continuum-mechanical models and approximations that have analogues in other areas of applied mathematics.
