Description for Dynamics of Ice Sheets and Glaciers Hardback. Based on general continuum mechanics, the different initial-boundary-value problems for the flow of ice sheets, ice shelves, ice caps and glaciers are systematically derived. Emphasis is put on developing approximation hierarchies for the different systems. Series: Advances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics. Num Pages: 302 pages, 105 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHDF; PHVG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 17. Weight in Grams: 1330.

Dynamics of Ice Sheets and Glaciers presents an introduction to the dynamics and thermodynamics of flowing ice masses on Earth. Based on an outline of general continuum mechanics, the different initial-boundary-value problems for the flow of ice sheets, ice shelves, ice caps and glaciers are systematically derived. Special emphasis is put on developing hierarchies of approximations for the different systems, and suitable numerical solution techniques are discussed. A separate chapter is devoted to glacial isostasy. The book is appropriate for graduate courses in glaciology, cryospheric sciences, environmental sciences, geophysics and related fields. Standard undergraduate knowledge of mathematics (calculus, linear algebra) ... Read more
