Numerical modelling of the Antarctic ice sheet

This thesis develops a three-dimensional time-dependent numerical model that dynamically simulates the evolution of the flow and thermal regime of the Antarctic Ice Sheet in response to climatic changes. As one of the most important heat sinks and water reservoirs in the Earth’s energy and water sys...
