The main components of an ice sheet model are the equations for:(1)the momentum balance(typically Stokes equations or their approximations)and(2)the ice thickness evolution.These two components are strongly coupled,and a straightforward sequential solution of them leads to prohibitively small time steps.In this talk we analyze the coupled problem and we propose a method to solve it effectively.We show numerical results on idealized and realistic geometries.
