A theoretical steady state profile of ice sheets (two-dimentional model)
Antarctic Record, 1977 The Nye's kinematic theory of ice sheet profiles is revised on the basis of the conservation law of ice mass, because the Nye's ice sheet model or the revised Haefeli's model does not satisfy the ice mass conservation law and therefore they cannot have a

The impact of spatially varying ice sheet basal conditions on sliding at glacial time scales
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Spatially variable basal conditions are thought to govern how ice sheets behave at glacial time scales (>1000 years) and responsible for changes in dynamics between the core and peripheral regions of the Laurentide and Fennoscandian ice sheets.

A new coupled ice sheet/climate model: description and sensitivity to model physics under Eemian, Last Glacial Maximum, late Holocene and modern climate conditions [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2011 The need to better understand long-term climate/ice sheet feedback loops is motivating efforts to couple ice sheet models into Earth System models which are capable of long-timescale simulations. In this paper we describe a coupled model that consists of

Positive feedbacks drive the Greenland ice sheet evolution in millennial-length MAR–GISM simulations under a high-end warming scenario [PDF]
The CryosphereUnderstanding the complex interactions between the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) and the atmosphere is crucial for projecting its future sea level contribution. However, studying these interactions remains challenging, as it requires high-resolution climate

Recent Progress in Greenland Ice Sheet Modelling [PDF]
Current Climate Change Reports, 2017 This paper reviews the recent literature on numerical modelling of the dynamics of the Greenland ice sheet with the goal of providing an overview of advancements and to highlight important directions of future research. In particular, the review is focused on large-scale modelling of the ice sheet, including future projections, model parameterisations,

Description and evaluation of the Community Ice Sheet Model (CISM) v2.1
Geoscientific Model Development, 2018 . We describe and evaluate version 2.1 of the Community Ice Sheet Model (CISM). CISM is a parallel, 3-D thermomechanical model, written mainly in Fortran, that solves equations for the momentum balance and the thickness and temperature evolution of ice ...

Greenland ice sheet mass balance assessed by PROMICE (1995–2015)
Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2019 The Programme for Monitoring of the Greenland Ice Sheet (PROMICE) has measured ice-sheet elevation and thickness via repeat airborne surveys circumscribing the ice sheet at an average elevation of 1708 ± 5 m (Sørensen et al. 2018).

Pliocene Ice Sheet Modelling Intercomparison Project (PLISMIP) – experimental design [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2012 During the mid-Pliocene warm period (3.264 to 3.025 million years ago), global mean temperature was similar to that predicted for the next century and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations were slightly higher than today.

The evolution of future Antarctic surface melt using PISM-dEBM-simple [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 It is virtually certain that Antarctica's contribution to sea-level rise will increase with future warming, although competing mass balance processes hamper accurate quantification of the exact magnitudes.
