Ice sheets: a cartoon

Event Start:
2020-01-23T16:00:00
Event End:
2020-01-23T17:00:00
Event Information:

Ice sheet simulations have become much more sophisticated over the last decade in their ability to capture small spatial detail and reproduce actual observed ice sheet behaviour. That does not mean that the underlying models are correct. Here we look "under the hood": the purpose of this talk is to present a survey of the physics in ice sheet models and its implications for the dynamics of ice sheets.
