Glacier Modeling

Project description

Provide a brief description of what your project is all about

Objectives

1) Determine how debris-cover effects glacier length using numerical models 2) determine how debris input location on a glacier effects glacier length

Time-line

Start: Oct 2014 - Dec 2015

Models in use

We are using 1 and 2D Matlab-based numerical glacier models. The models are used in both idealized and geographical settings with a variety of parameterizations for glacier mass balance. We are primarily using a 2D debris-covered glacier code to determine the importance of debris-cover on glacier length. Beach allows us to explore a wide parameter range efficiently and is therefore imperative for the success of this project.
