Welcome to the Mathematics on Ice Forum! We are proposing to meet once a month to discuss mathematical aspects of ice dynamics and bring together the community in an informal atmosphere.
The first meeting planned will take place on 15th February with the following talks:
- Alex Robel (GeorgiaTech) on "Grounding lines transition to instability at sharp peaks through a crossing-sliding bifurcation"
- Kasia Warburton (Cambridge) on "Tides below glaciers: subglacial hydrology of the grounding line"
Starting at 4:00pm GMT, with optional continuation of discussions (feel free to come and go as you like). In each meeting there will be two short 20 minute presentations (in Zoom) and time for discussions and ice-breaking in small groups.
In general, the presentations are hoped to provide introductions to topics and cover a broad range of areas, focusing on foundations, physical phenomena and model implementations of ice sheet and glacier dynamics (e.g. shear margin evolution, melt production and softening), fracture mechanics and damage (e.g. crevassing, rifting, hydrofracture, calving), subglacial environments (e.g. hydrology, till dynamics and lubrication), surface mass balance processes (e.g. supraglacial lakes and rivers, snow dynamics), microstructure (fabric, anisotropy, recrystallisation processes), and ice-ocean interactions,... and anything else you are fascinated about.
