+<br><br>
+Ice sheets and glaciers commonly flow over sedimentary deposits,
+in particular in areas of fast ice flow. The basal sediments are
+weakened by high water pressure provided by ice melt and limited
+drainage. Areas of fast flow are primary contributors to sea-level
+rise, so an accurate understanding of the thermomechanical multiphysics
+problem of ice, water, and sediment is crucial for predicting
+dynamical behavior under future climate scenarios. The in-situ
+observational basis from borehole measurements shows that the
+subglacial environment is highly dynamic. Water pressures, strain
+rate, and glacial sliding patterns are extremely variable in time
+and space, and hint towards significant complexity beyond current
+modelling approaches. Sediment transport by ice flow reshapes the
+bed, and can feed back to the ice flow physics. In this presentation
+I explain our efforts to numerically describe the subglacial sediment
+mechanics and fluid dynamics, and how the processes affect ice sheet
+behavior. GPU-based particle-scale simulations using the discrete
+element method and porous fluid dynamics provide detailed insight
+into sediment and meltwater dynamics. However, the intense
+computational requirements severely limit their applicability to
+coupled simulations of ice and bed. Our newest efforts use continuum
+models of non-local granular fluidity to simulate essential behavior
+on larger spatial and temporal scales. We show that the variability
+observed in field borehole measurements can be explained by considering
+the coupled dynamics of the ice-water-sediment system. From these
+dynamics ice flow has the ability to rapidly reshape its bed,
+providing additional feedbacks to ice contribution to sea level in
+a changing climate.</blockquote>
