Dear All,
Please accept my apology if this is a very simple or stupid question. I am working in hydrogeology area with very limited knowledge about ice sheet modeling. For my next project, I will setup a flow and transport simulation to access geochemical stability considering last glaciation/deglaciation events. The ice sheet (e.g., ice thickness, base temperature) will be used as a boundary condition in my model. I have some paleogeology data indicating that the estimated average ice thickness is around 2km during Laurentide ice sheet movement.
To get the spatio-temporal ice thickness, I want to reconstruct a rough simulation of glaciation/deglaciation over a 200km x 200km simulation domain with mesh resolution around 1km. The current topography data is available. However, I don't have detail paleoclimate data or other data that may be needed to drive ice sheet model. Since Laurentide ice have been significantly studied by glaciologist, I guess there might be a quick answer here. Is it possible to do that using SICOPOLIS? If there is a similar example I can refer to, that would be great.
Thanks,
Danyang
