Short summary
We develop data assimilation techniques for numerical models using moving mesh methods. Moving meshes are valuable for explicitly tracking interfaces and boundaries in evolving systems. The application of the techniques is demonstrated on a one-dimensional model of an ice sheet. It is shown, using various types of observations, that the techniques predict the evolution of the edges of the ice sheet and its height accurately and efficiently.
