Numerical modelling of glaciers : moving meshes and data assimilation

In this thesis we consider the solution to dynamical ice flow equations using a combination of a moving mesh method and data assimilation. We show that by moving the mesh the approximation to the ice thickness profile is improved, and the location of the domain boundary is significantly better estim...
