Research Abstract
I am interested in numerical modeling in general, and ice sheet modeling in particular. My research focuses on the use of finite-elements and PDE-constrained optimization applied to ice sheet system. I am interested in understanding the interactions of ice and climate by combining state-of-the-art numerical modeling with remote sensing and in situ data. In particular, I am interested in determining how the ice sheet, ice caps and mountain glaciers will respond to climate change in the coming century. How much the ice sheets will contribute to global sea level has become one of today's most urgent questions in understanding the implications of global climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has identified the contribution of the ice sheets as a key uncertainty in sea level rise projections. Numerical modeling is the only effective way of addressing this problem, and I have been working on several aspects of this topic, such as the development and implementation of higher-order models, anisotropic mesh refinement, inverse modeling, and more recently bed topography reconstruction based on mass conservation.
