"The Big Thaw: Simulating Greenland's Future",
a talk to the
Graduate Student Seminar
at the FSU Department of Scientific Computing,
08 April 2011,
The following files were used for the presentation:
-
arolla_velocity.png, a contour plot of down-slope velocity
for a test case involving the Arolla glacier, as computed
by Mauro Perego's code;
-
calving.png, an image of a block of ice "calving" from an
ice sheet into the ocean;
-
conforming_grid.png, an example of how grids can be refined
near a land/ocean interface so that results computed over one
region can be accurately copied and used in the other;
-
conforming_grid2.png, an example of how grids can be refined
near a land/ocean interface so that results computed over one
region can be accurately copied and used in the other;
-
fsu_logo.pdf,
a logo.
-
ghost_cells.png,
an image suggesting how "ghost cells" are used to allow a finite
difference mesh to be divided into submeshed and processed in parallel
-
greenland_cvt.png,
an image of a mesh of Greenland generated using centroidal Voronoi tessellation
graded by observed ice sheet velocity.
-
greenland_ice_thickness.png,
an image of the ice thickness in Greenland.
-
greenland_map.png,
a map of Greenland showing the many tourist locations.
-
greenland_mesh.png,
an image of a part of a mesh of Greenland.
-
greenland_outline.png,
an outline map of Greenland.
-
greenland_velocity.png,
an image of the observed ice sheet velocity over Greenland.
-
ice_springs.png,
an image of meltwater pouring off an ice sheet and into the ocean.
-
mpas_clouds.png,
an image suggesting the MPAS gridding system.
-
normalization.png,
a schematic of how the ice sheet is "flattened" in the Z direction
so that the model ice sheet has a uniform thickness of 1 unit.
-
prism_tets.png,
an image of a triangular prism decomposed into three tetrahedrons.
-
sia_versus_fo.png,
an image comparing results for Greenland using the shallow ice approximation
versus the first order model, both computed by Mauro Perego's code.
-
staggered_grid.png,
an image of the staggered grid used over each ice sheet layer,
in the finite volume approach.
-
surface_melt.png,
an image of streams of surface meltwater running across the ice sheet.
-
triangular_prism.png,
an image of a triangular prism.
-
triangular_prism_grid.png,
an image of a grid made from triangular prisms.
-
velocity_closeup.png,
an image of a portion of the velocity field for Greenland, as
computed by Mauro Perego's code.
