Description / Table of Contents:
The mathematical modelling of glaciomechanics processes is described in this fascicle. It includes three points: the treatment of the field data observations on glaciers; calculations of non-isothermal mechanics of glaciers and separate regions of ice sheets; calculation of glaciations dynamics with climatic alterations and tectonics. The corresponding mathematical and digital models permit to carry out concrete prognosis of mechanics of glaciers which is of scientific and applied importance. Computer mechanization of this process permits to realize efficiently both operative prognosis for the national economy, and digital experiments to determine the basic regularities of the influence of large masses of natural ice upon the appearance of the earth. The edition is counted for glaciologists, geophysicians, mathematicians; it will be interesting for the wide sphere of scientists of adjacent disciplines.
