Regional modeling of the Shirase drainage basin, East Antarctica: full Stokes vs. shallow ice dynamics

A hierarchy of approximations of the force balance for the flow of grounded ice exists, ranging from the most sophisticated full Stokes (FS) formulation to the most simplified shallow ice approximation (SIA). Both are implemented in the ice flow model Elmer/Ice, and we compare them by applying t...
