A moving-point approach to model shallow ice sheets: a study case with radially symmetrical ice sheets
Predicting the evolution of ice sheets requires numerical models able to accurately track the migration of ice sheet continental margins or grounding lines. We introduce a physically based moving-point approach for the flow of ice sheets based on the conservation of local masses. This allows the ice...
