Short summary
In this manuscript, we discuss the development and validation of a new momentum balance solver for modeling the flow of glaciers and ice sheets based on the 1st-order Stokes equations. We demonstrate the numerical convergence of our solver (with respect to computational mesh spacing), its flexibility (with respect to both the choice of mesh and finite element type), and its computational performance (robustness and scalability when applied to both idealized and realistic ice sheet simulations).
