Elmer/Ice

Open Source Finite Element Software for Ice Sheet, Glaciers and Ice Flow Modelling

Elmer/Ice is a full-Stokes, finite element, ice sheet / ice flow model. The aim of this website is to present the capabilities of Elmer/Ice and to distribute course materials and tutorials.
Elmer/Ice is an add-on package to Elmer, which is a multi-physics FEM suite mainly developed by CSC-IT Center for Science Ltd., Espoo, Finland. Initially started by CSC,  IGE and ILTS, currently multiple institutions and individuals contribute to the development of Elmer/Ice.

Elmer/Ice and MISMIP

image MISMIPElmer/Ice was the only full-Stokes model applying to the MISMIP experiments. As a conclusion of the MISMIP Publication (Pattyn et al., 2012): "These results may seem to indicate a need to solve the full-Stokes equations near the grounding line to obtain fully accurate results."
