Abstract
An evolutionary mathematical model of ice sheets is presented. The model takes into account the basic climatic and geophysical parameters, with temperature parameterization. Some numerical data derived from experiments on the Greenland ice sheet are received. At present the Greenland ice sheet is found to be in a state essentially different from a stationary one corresponding to modern climatic conditions.Keywords
