BC3 Seminars
“Role of Antarctic and Arctic Ice in Climate Change”

Em. Prof. Leslie W. Morland, PhD
School of Mathematics, University of East Anglia Norwich

Abstract: Land based Antarctic and Greenland ice and Arctic sea ice cover a significant fraction of the Earth’s surface, and its high albedo means that much of the solar energy reaching its surface is reflected back into the atmosphere. Ice sheet and sea ice dynamics are therefore a component of a climate change model which involves the interaction of ocean and atmosphere, of ocean and sea ice, of sea ice and atmosphere and grounded ice and atmosphere. An outline is presented of how these ice dynamics are formulated and modelled for solution by large-scale numerical codes, with discussion of theoretical flaws and numerical weaknesses.

Main research

  • Theoretical (continuum) mechanics: plasticity, viscoelasticity.
  • Porous media (interacting continua theory).
  • Theoretical glaciology: ice properties – viscous response, fabric evolution (induced anisotropy); ice-sheet flow (reduced model), sea-ice dynamics.
