LANS Informal Seminar: Ian Rutt
April 14, 2011 @ 15:00 CDT
Seminar Title: Numerical modelling in Glaciology: computational challenges and opportunities
Speaker: Ian Rutt, Department of Geography, College of Science, Swansea University
Date/Time: 2011-04-14 15:00
Location: Bldg 240, 4301
Description:
Ice sheets are a key component of the earth system, and consequently need to be taken into consideration in numerical predictions of climate change, both because of their involvement in internal climate feedbacks, and because of the societal risks posed by sea level change. This talk will explore some of the computational challenges posed by ice sheet modelling over different temporal and spatial scales, and outline work currently being undertaken to address these challenges, both at Swansea and elsewhere.
