See all on Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice-sheet_dynamicsIce sheet dynamics describe the motion within large bodies of ice, such those currently on Greenland and Antarctica. Ice motion is dominated by the movement of glaciers, whose gravity-driven activity is controlled by two main variable factors: the temperature and the strength of their bases. A number of … See more
Boundary conditions
The interface between an ice stream and the ocean is a significant control of the rate of flow.
Ice shelves are thick layers of ice floating on the sea – can … See moreFlow dynamics
The main cause of flow within glaciers can be attributed to an increase in the surface slope, brought upon by an imbalance between the amounts of accumulation vs. ablation. This imbalance increases the shear stress on … See more
Climate change
The implications of the current climate change on ice sheets are difficult to ascertain. It is clear that increasing temperatures are resulting in reduced ice volumes globally. (Due to increased precipitation, the … See more• Barber, D.G.; McCullough, G.; Babb, D.; Komarov, A. S.; Candlish, L. M.; Lukovich, J. V.; Asplin, M.; Prinsenberg, S.; Dmitrenko, I.; Rysgaard, S.

In climate modelling, Ice-sheet models use numerical methods to simulate the evolution, dynamics and thermodynamics of ice sheets, such as the Greenland ice sheet, the Antarctic ice sheet or the large ice sheets on the northern hemisphere during the last glacial period. They are used for a variety of purposes, from studies of the glaciation of Earth over glacial–interglacial cycles in the past to projections of ice-sheet decay under future global warming conditions.
