The Smith–Morland flow law revisited Preprint, submitted to the Journal of Glaciology on 2026-02-27.

New preprint, submitted to @igsoc.bsky.social Journal of #Glaciology: "The Smith-Morland flow law revisited". We offer a singularity-free alternative to Nye-Glen, avoiding the infinite-viscosity limit at zero stress. Already implemented in #SICOPOLIS.

IGS Global Seminar: Ralf Greve | February 18 Topic: Basal sliding laws and flow laws for ice-sheet and glacier modelling, and why their non-dimensionalization can make modellers' lives easier

Join me at the @igsoc.bsky.social Global Seminar ❄️ on Feb 18 (20:00 UTC). I'll be talking about basal sliding laws, flow laws, and how their non-dimensionalization simplifies #Glacier and #IceSheet #Modelling. 📉🧊

And we discussed where to go next into the future in the context of the next International Polar Year, Decade for Action on Cryospheric Sciences, and in the face of a quickly changing cryosphere & climate!

We connected with (new) colleagues and friends from around the world. We heard about the urgency to act even while we develop better predictions of impacts.

We were welcomed and concluded in a good way by Māori hosts. We celebrated multiple IGS award winners. We bore witness to a range of stark realities facing people as a result of the changing climate & cryosphere. We heard about important (and understudied) feedbacks - both positive and negative.
