Phd Position On Calving of Ice Sheets
7 dagen geleden
Utrecht Oost, Nederland Universiteit Utrecht VoltijdOver the last five years it has become clear that the evolution of ice sheets is strongly influenced by the interaction with the ocean. This is caused by basal melting below ice shelves and by the calving of ice at the front of tide water glaciers or ice shelves. We will do this with an ice sheet model (UFEMISM) which is adaptive in space and time. The model...
