Abstract	Ice sheets, ice shelves, ice caps and glaciers are active, dy namic components of the climate system of the Earth, and they deserve the same scientific attention as the atmosphere and the ocean s. Since the late 1970s, numerical modelling has become esta blished as an important technique for the understanding of ice dynamic s. I e sheet models are particularly relevant for predictin g heir possible response to climate change and consequent sea level rise, an d thus a number of such models have been developed over the yea rs. Recent observations actually suggest that ice dynamics cou ld play a crucial role in predicting future sea level rise und er global warming conditions. Despite this great relevance, ice sheet modell ing is still underrepresented within the international cli matology communities, compared to the large efforts made into atmosphere and ocean research. In this contribution, I will review the state of th e art and current problems of ice sheet modelling. An outline of the underlyin g fluid-dynamical theory will be given, and crucial processe s (basal sliding, calving, interaction with the solid Earth) will be discusse d. Further, I will present selected applications to problem s of past, present and future glaciation of Greenland, Antarctica, and also the po lar ice caps of the planet Mars.
