MARC recordHolistic ice sheet modeling: a first-order approach / Terence J. Hughes.
| Title: | Holistic ice sheet modeling: a first-order approach / Terence J. Hughes. |
| Author(s): | Hughes, Terence J. |
| Date: | 2009. |
| Publisher: | [Orono, Maine]: University of Maine |
| Abstract: | Examines questions of whether ice sheets are fundamentally stable or unstable, and, if unstable, extent to which instability controls instabilities in global climate and sea level. Presents first-order holistic model, with aim of capturing full range of ice-sheet behaviour (i.e. behaviour of both stable interior and unstable periphery). Model encompasses fundamental behaviour of slow interior sheet flow, fast peripheral stream flow, and buttressing capability of shelf flow. |
