Bueler's karthaus materials

These are notes and codes for my numerical lectures at the Karthaus (Italy) Summer School on Ice Sheets and Glaciers. The Karthaus website is at

http://www.projects.science.uu.nl/iceclimate/karthaus/

The notes (notes/notes-sept2014.pdf) are suitable for printing and off-line study. The slides for the lectures (slides-sept2014.pdf) are also here.

The notes plus their exercises plus the Matlab codes form a self-contained course. The codes are in subdirectory mfiles/. The notes and slides are the major documentation of these programs, but they also have help files (i.e. leading comments). You are encouraged to actually run and modify the codes!

The directory petsc/ contains a C code using the PETSc library to solve the same SSA problem as in the Matlab codes. Please look in petsc/ only after becoming reasonably familiar with the Matlab versions.

This is the 2014 version. See BUILD.md for using LaTeX to recompile the notes and slides. If needed, materials from years 2009, 2010, 2012 can be recovered from this repo's history.
