Ice dynamics, the PISM view

This section describes PISM’s high-level view of ice dynamics and the separation of ice dynamics from climate inputs.

Please see Modeling choices so learn how to control PISM’s sub-models.

• Stress balance models: SIA, SSA, and the First Order Approximation
• A hierarchy of simplifying assumptions for grounded ice flow
• Evolutionary versus diagnostic modeling
• Climate inputs, and their interface with ice dynamics
