Overview
This course aims to provide an overview of the mathematical modeling of ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. The learning outcomes include understanding how ice sheets work, move, and are modeled mathematically. The course covers topics such as accumulation elevation feedback, depth-integrated models, and the surface boundary layer. The teaching method involves a research seminar format, where the instructor presents the material. This course is intended for individuals interested in the mathematical modeling of environmental systems, particularly ice sheets, and those looking to explore cutting-edge research in the field.
