Abstract
Abstract In this article, we formulate a model describing the evolution of thickness of a grounded shallow ice sheet. The thickness of the ice sheet is constrained to be nonnegative. This renders the problem under consideration an obstacle problem. A rigorous analysis shows that the model is thus governed by a set of variational inequalities that involve nonlinearities in the time derivative and in the elliptic term, and that it admits solutions, whose existence is established by means of a semi-discrete scheme and the penalty method.
