A Hierarchical Spatiotemporal Statistical Model Motivated by Glaciology [PDF]

open access: greenJournal of Agricultural Biological and Environmental Statistics, 2019
In this paper, we extend and analyze a Bayesian hierarchical spatio-temporal model for physical systems. A novelty is to model the discrepancy between the output of a computer simulator for a physical process and the actual process values with a ...

A Generalized Interpolation Material Point Method for Shallow Ice Shelves. 1: Shallow Shelf Approximation and Ice Thickness Evolution

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021
We develop a generalized interpolation material point method (GIMPM) for the shallow shelf approximation (SSA) of ice flow. The GIMPM, which can be viewed as a particle version of the finite element method, is used here to solve the shallow shelf ...
