The annual international user meeti ng for the ice-flow model Úa will this year be held at Northumbria University, Newcastle, from 13-17 September, 2021.
The meeting will be held online (using Teams). T here is no course fee, and registration simply involves sending me (Hilmar) an email to get be included in the Teams meeting invites. The meeting is s uitable for both new and experienced users.
The schedule will be based on UK local time. Video recordings and pre-r ecorded instruction videos will be made available to all participants. It s hould therefore be possible for those on different time zones to participat e without attending all the sessions in real time.
Úa is a finite-element ice-flow model. It is eas y to use, robust, and an ideal tool to solve flow of ice sheets, ice shelve s and alpine glaciers, and for ice-flow problems involving grounding line m igration (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO8NHJqmg g_bwJx0xKJDwcA). To run the model a local MATLAB installation is requir ed.
As in previous years, there will be an introduction to the use of model and presentations by current users in t he mornings. The afternoons can be used to set up and run models, and parti cipants are encouraged to work on their own modelling problems.
Exact schedule will be sent close to the meeting, b ut we expect first two mornings (Monday and Tuesday) to be primarily aimed and new users, and Wednesday and Thursday mornings mainly involving present ations of ‘user success stories’.
Furthe r details about the program will be sent to participants closer to the date of the meeting.
