In this paper, we prove global existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to the momentum equations of Hibler's visco-plastic model for the dynamics of the arctic sea-ice covers. Although Hibler's model is standardly used in global climate…
Sea ice is highly complex due to the inhomogeneity of the physical properties (e.g. temperature and salinity) as well as the permeability and mixture of water and a matrix of sea ice and/or sea ice crystals. Such complexity has proven…
We establish the existence of energy-driven solutions to the momentum balance equation in Hibler's sea ice model. As a main novelty and different from previous results, we deal with the singular limit and therefore cover the true…

In this paper, we initiate the rigorous mathematical analysis of the elastic-viscous-plastic (EVP) sea-ice model, which was introduced in [E. C. Hunke and J. K. Dukowicz, J. Phys. Oceanogr., 27, 9 (1997), 1849-1867]. The EVP model is one of…
We present a Newton-Krylov solver for a viscous-plastic sea-ice model. This constitutive relation is commonly used in climate models to describe the material properties of sea ice. Due to the strong nonlinearity introduced by the material…
We consider a free-boundary model for the ice-sheet interacting with an ocean. The model captures the coupling between a viscous geophysical fluid and an elastic interface through kinematic and dynamic boundary conditions that account for…
This paper is devoted to the existence of a weak solution to a system describing a self-propelled motion of a rigid body in a viscous fluid in the whole $\mathbb{R}^3$. The fluid is modelled by the incompressible nonhomogeneous…

With global warming, the ice-covered areas in the Arctic are being transformed into open water. This provides increased impetus for extensive maritime activities and attracts research interests in sea ice modelling. In the polar region, ice…
Europa is an icy ocean world, differentiated into a floating ice shell and solid interior, separated by a global ocean. The classical spin-orbit coupling problem considers a satellite as a single rigid body, but in the case of Europa, the…
We use tools from statistical physics to develop a stochastic theory for the drift of a single Arctic sea-ice floe. Floe-floe interactions are modelled using a Coulomb friction term, with any change in the thickness or the size of the ice…
