Global warming and modelling the future of ice caps in Iceland

这一研究项目的结果将使人们能够更好地了解冰岛冰盖动态、海洋和大气之间的关系。这些知识可以促进更广泛地了解全球海平面上升的控制，并深入了解格陵兰岛和南极洲等较大冰盖的动态和行为。最终希望这项研究将加强对冰盖和冰盖对气候变化反应的预测。| 本文的研究目标是：1.评估季节变化对冰流速的影响2。调查产犊对整体冰川动态的影响3。模拟霍夫舍库尔冰帽4的未来冰流。将模型结果与现有数据进行比较5.估计由于参数的不确定性造成的未来冰损失预测的不确定性

The results of this research project would enable a greater understanding of the relationship between ice sheet dynamics, ocean and atmosphere in Iceland. This knowledge can then contribute to a wider understanding on the controls of global sea level rise and gain insight to the dynamics and behaviour of larger ice sheets such as Greenland and Antarctica. It is ultimately hoped that this research will strengthen predictions of ice caps and ice sheets response to climate change. | The research objectives of this paper would be1. Assess the impact of seasonal variation on ice flow velocity2. Investigate the influence of calving on overall glacier dynamics3. Model future ice flow of Hofsjökull ice cap4. Validate model outcomes with existing data5. Estimate uncertainty in predictions of future ice loss due to uncertainty in parameters
