The chapter describes numerical methods for ice sheet and ice shelf models, focussing on the use of explicit finite-difference schemes to solve the shallow ice approximation for ice sheets and the shallow shelf approximation for ice shelves. The aspects covered include numerical stability and convergence. Examples of computer code in Matlab are given to aid the exposition.
