A long debated scientific problem in the area of climate                   dynamics is the instability of polar ice caps.  This work focuses               on investigating the stability of seasonal snow lines using an                  energy balance model (EBM) and a dynamic ice sheet model.  The                  EBM would be used to study the interaction of geography                         variations and a seasonally varying snow line.  This problem is                 important because of its possible relevance to the initiation                   of ice sheets during the onset of an ice age.  In addition, the                 EBM would be compared to a dynamic ice sheet to simulate                        conditions leading to sudden growth decay of the ice sheet,                     thereby reproducing a long term model climate behavior that can                 be compared to the observed climate over the geologic time scale.
