Improving The Performance Of Ice Sheet Modeling Through Embedded Simulation, Christopher G. Dufour
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Understanding the impact of global climate change is a critical concern for society at large. One important piece of the climate puzzle is how large-scale ice sheets, such as those covering Greenland and Antarctica, respond to a warming climate. Given such ice sheets are under constant change, developing models that can accurately capture their dynamics represents a significant challenge to researchers. The problem, however, is properly capturing the dynamics of an ice sheet model requires a high model resolution and simulating these models is intractable even for state-of-the-art supercomputers.
This thesis presents a revolutionary approach to accurately capture ice sheet …
