This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) project grant, valued at $286,102, will fund research at the University of North Dakota (UND) to develop advanced ice flow modeling capabilities using graphics processing units (GPUs). The goal is to better assess the Antarctic ice sheet's contribution to sea level rise and its sensitivity to climate change uncertainties.
Specifically, the principal investigator and a graduate student will investigate an accelerated, matrix-free method combined with GPU computing to enable high-resolution, three-dimensional, higher-order simulations of the entire Antarctic ice sheet. This will allow for more comprehensive ensemble modeling to quantify uncertainty bounds in sea level rise projections. The methods and software developed can also be applied to accelerate other large-scale fluid flow simulations. This work will be conducted in collaboration with researchers at Dartmouth College.
