Description

Numerical modeling approach combining energy-mass balance calculations with ice-flow modeling to reconstruct past glacier extents and determine paleoclimate conditions. Uses digital elevation models and climate parameters to simulate glacier behavior.

Typical Equipment

  • digital elevation model
  • PRISM climate data

Output Measurements

  • ice thickness distributions
  • paleoclimate parameters
  • glacier extents
