A multirheology ice model: Formulation and application to the Greenland ice sheet

Accurate prediction of future sea level rises requires models which can reproduce recent observed change in ice sheet behavior. This study describes a new multiphase, multiple-rheology ice dynamics model (SEGMENT-ice), which is used to examine Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) responses both to past and to...
