DESCRIPTION:I will present an existence and stability theory for solitary 
 waves at the interface between a thin ice sheet and an ideal fluid\, which
  is based on minimising the total energy subject to the constraint of fixe
 d total horizontal momentum. The ice sheet is modelled using the Cosserat 
 theory of hyperelastic shells. Since the energy functional is quadratic in
  the highest derivatives\, stronger results are obtained than in the corre
 sponding theory for capillary-gravity water waves. This is joint work with
  Benedikt Hewer and Erik Wahl&eacute\;n.
