Grounding-line dynamics in a Stokes ice-flow model (Elmer/Ice v9.0): improved numerical stability allows larger time steps

Abstract. The efficient and accurate simulation of grounding line dynamics in marine ice-sheet models remains a challenge, largely due to restrictive time-step limitations. The restrictive time step size of ice-sheet simulations (∼ ∆t = 0.01−0.5 years) has led to the routine use...
