Abstract
A 2D time-dependent thermo-mechanical model, including
ice–water phase change and sedimentation
process, is developed to study the effects of planetary
heat loss and sedimentation rate on the time scale
for melting and on the mechanical and hydrological
stability of sub-ice lake scenario. The results show
that planetary heat loss greater than 25 mW/m2 and
sedimentation rates between
