Simulating ice-shelf extent using damage mechanics
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Inaccurate representations of iceberg calving from ice shelves are a large source of uncertainty in mass-loss projections from the Antarctic ice sheet. Here, we address this limitation by implementing and testing a continuum damage-mechanics model in a ...

Global ice sheet modeling [PDF]
, 1994 The University of Maine conducted this study for Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) as part of a global climate modeling task for site characterization of the potential nuclear waste respository site at Yucca Mountain, NV. The purpose of the study was to develop a global ice sheet dynamics model that will forecast the three-dimensional configuration of

Modeling the Antarctic ice sheet [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1997 A three-dimensional (3-D), high-resolution, non-linearly viscous, non-isothermal ice-sheet model is employed to calculate the “present-day” equilibrium regime of the Antarctic ice sheet and its evolution during the last glacial cycle.

Tracer transport in an isochronal ice-sheet model
Journal of Glaciology, 2017 The full history of ice sheet and climate interactions is recorded in the vertical profiles of geochemical tracers in polar ice sheets. Numerical simulations of these archives promise great advances both in the interpretation of these reconstructions and

ATAT 1.1, the Automated Timing Accordance Tool for comparing ice-sheet model output with geochronological data [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2019 Earth's extant ice sheets are of great societal importance given their ongoing and potential future contributions to sea-level rise. Numerical models of ice sheets are designed to simulate ice-sheet behaviour in response to climate changes but to be ...

Glacial cycles and ice-sheet modelling [PDF]
Climatic Change, 1982 An attempt is made to simulate the Pleistocene glacial cycles with a numerical model of the Northern Hemisphere ice sheets. This model treats the vertically-integrated ice flow along a meridian, including computation of bedrock adjustment and temperature distribution in the ice. Basal melt water is traced and controls ice-mass discharge.

Quantitative sub-ice and marine tracing of Antarctic sediment provenance (TASP v1.0) [PDF]
Geoscientific Model DevelopmentIce sheet models should be able to accurately simulate palaeo ice sheets to have confidence in their projections of future polar ice sheet mass loss and resulting global sea level rise.

Antarctic ice sheet response to sudden and sustained ice-shelf collapse (ABUMIP)
Journal of Glaciology, 2020 Antarctica's ice shelves modulate the grounded ice flow, and weakening of ice shelves due to climate forcing will decrease their ‘buttressing’ effect, causing a response in the grounded ice.

, 2020 . Simulations of the glacial–interglacial history of the Antarctic Ice Sheet provide insights into dynamic threshold behavior and estimates of the ice sheet's contributions to global sea-level changes for the past, present and future.
