DESCRIPTION:The ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland contain are likely 
 to be the largest contributors to sea level change over the next century. 
  Much of the uncertainty in forecasting such change is due to incomplete u
 nderstanding of the dynamics of these ice masses\, or to dynamics that are
  not adequately accounted for in the models.  Many of these have to do wit
 h interactions of ice and liquid water\, and exhibit interesting interplay
  between fluid mechanics\, solid mechanics and thermodynamics.  I will dis
 cuss (i) meltwater infiltration in compacting snow\, (ii) the potential im
 portance of 'temperate' ice near the base of the ice sheets\, and (iii) su
 bglacial meltwater drainage.\n
