Simulating ice-shelf extent using damage mechanics
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 ...

PISM-LakeCC: Implementing an adaptive proglacial lake boundary in an ice sheet model [PDF]
During the Late Pleistocene and Holocene retreat of paleo-ice sheets in North America and Europe, vast proglacial lakes existed along the land terminating margins.

Thermomechanical modelling of the Scandinavian ice sheet: implications for ice-stream formation [PDF]
This work attempts to explain the fan-like landform assemblages observed in satellite images of the area covered by the former Scandinavian ice sheet (SIS). These assemblages have been interpreted as evidence of large ice streams within the SIS.

Global ice sheet modeling [PDF]
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

Computation of a combined spherical-elastic and viscous-half-space earth model for ice sheet simulation [PDF]
This report starts by describing the continuum model used by Lingle & Clark (1985) to approximate the deformation of the earth under changing ice sheet and ocean loads.

. The Parallel Ice Sheet Model (PISM) is applied to the Antarctic Ice Sheet over the last two glacial cycles ( ≈210 000 years) with a resolution of 16 km .

Modeling the Antarctic ice sheet [PDF]
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
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]
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 ...

Modeling of the northern hemisphere ice sheets during the last glacial cycle and glaciological sensitivity [PDF]
We present a new three-dimensional thermomechanically coupled ice sheet model of the northern hemisphere to reconstruct the Quaternary ice sheets during the last glacial cycle.
