Abstract: Summary The main focus of this paper is on stable FE-discretisations for treating systems of partial differential equations arising in glaciology. The systems are coupled ones, consisting of a flow problem determining stress, pressure and velocity and evolution problems for temperature and mean orientation densities, describing anisotropic material behaviour. The proposed strategies are applied to a standard model for describing ice sheet dynamics and an enhanced one, taking into account the developement of certain fabrics in the structure of the ice.
