Inversion of geothermal heat flux in a thermomechanically coupled nonlinear Stokes ice sheet model
We address the inverse problem of inferring the basal geothermal heat flux from surface velocity observations using a steady-state thermomechanically coupled nonlinear Stokes ice flow model. This is a challenging inverse problem since the map from basal heat flux to surface velocity observables is i...
