Designing plasmonic structures
… color band, combined with linear polarizers for full stokes polarization imaging; and (4) using plasmonic couplers to increase efficiency of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) tunnel junction detectors for use in the low THz. General conclusions about the efficacy of plasmonic structures, or the lack …

Modeling of fluids and waves with analytics and numerics
… densities, and surface tensions in both the Stokes regime and for the full Navier-Stokes problem. The resulting mathematical model, based on linear-stability analysis, can quickly predict the breakup lengthscale and timescale of concentric cylindrical fluids, and provides useful guidance for …

Flow Characteristics, Setting, and Basal Boundary Condition of North Greenland Outlet Glaciers
… methods is then applied to each glacier with the full-stokes model, Elmer/Ice, to calculate basal drag. The bed topographies reveal that these glaciers are underlain by deeply incised channels, which extend more inland and descend further below present sea level than previously thought. The …

Blink and You'll Miss It: An Investigation into Surging on Flade Isblink, Greenland
… the century. This study therefore applies a 3D, full-Stokes glaciological flow model, Elmer/Ice, to Flade Isblink, the largest fringing ice cap in Greenland, to investigate its basal conditions and the mechanism of a surge of two of its major outlet glaciers observed around the turn of the …

Connect Store: A fully coupled 3D model of ice flow, calving, subglacial hydrology and ice-ocean interactions applied to Store Glacier, Greenland
This dissertation uses the 3D, finite-element, full-Stokes, open-source model Elmer/Ice to investigate the coupled dynamics of the ice-calving-subglacial-hydrology-plume system at Store Glacier, a large, fast-flowing tidewater outlet glacier on the west coast of Greenland. Understanding these large …

Development of a Higher-Order Ice Sheet Model Using a Rescaled Coordinate System
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has estimated between 9 and 88 cm of sea level rise over the next hundred years. Of this, only negative 19 to 11 cm is attributed to the largest ice masses on the planet, the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. Over the last decade, dramatic …
