This repository contains slides, notes, and computer programs for numerical glacier and ice sheet modeling. These materials have been used for the International Summer School in Glaciology, McCarthy, AK in years 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2022, and 2024.
Download all materials using the releases page for a .zip/.tar.gz archive, or by cloning this repository:
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/bueler/mccarthy.git
The depth option reduces the download size by not getting the history.
The PDF slides slides/slides-2024.pdf are new this year. I believe they cover the essential material in a better way. They are supported by Python codes in py/.
The older material is in PDF notes notes/notes-2024.pdf, previous slides slides/slides-2022.pdf, and Matlab/Octave programs mfiles/.
The codes in subdirectory py/ solve surface kinematic equation and Stokes problems. For now the new slides are the documentation, along with line comments in the .py source codes.
The codes in subdirectory mfiles/ solve SIA and SSA problems. They should work in either Matlab or Octave; if not please report a bug, either by email or by using the issues for this repository. Download them either by cloning this repository or by getting a .zip or .tar.gz archive at the releases page. The older notes and slides document these programs, but the programs also have help files (i.e. leading comments). You are encouraged to actually run and modify them!
The Python tools in stokes/ are primarily for projects. They solve a 2D Glen-Stokes flow over a bedrock step. The workflow uses the following tools: Firedrake (a finite element library), Gmsh (a mesh generator), PETSc (a solver library), and Paraview (for visualization). See stokes/doc.pdf for more information.
