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.

Journal of Glaciology, 2019 In the current ice-sheet models calving of ice shelves is based on phenomenological approaches. To obtain physics-based calving criteria, a viscoelastic Maxwell model is required accounting for short-term elastic and long-term viscous deformation.

Influence of temperature fluctuations on equilibrium
ice sheet volume [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Forecasting the future sea level relies on accurate modeling of the response of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets to changing temperatures. The surface mass balance (SMB) of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) has a nonlinear response to warming. Cold

Marine ice-sheet profiles and stability under Coulomb basal conditions [PDF]
, 2015 The behavior of marine-terminating ice sheets, such as the West Antarctic ice sheet, is of interest due to the possibility of rapid grounding-line retreat and consequent catastrophic loss of ice.

Eemian Greenland ice sheet simulated with a higher-order model shows strong sensitivity to surface mass balance forcing [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 The Greenland ice sheet contributes increasingly to global sea level rise. Its history during past warm intervals is a valuable reference for future sea level projections.

Range of 21st century ice mass changes in the Filchner-Ronne region of Antarctica
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Increases in ocean temperatures in the Filchner Ronne region of Antarctica are likely to result in increased ice mass loss and sea level rise. We constrain projections of the 21st century sea level contribution of this region using process-based ice ...

Implementation of higher-order vertical finite elements in ISSM v4.13 for improved ice sheet flow modeling over paleoclimate timescales [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2018 Paleoclimate proxies are being used in conjunction with ice sheet modeling experiments to determine how the Greenland ice sheet responded to past changes, particularly during the last deglaciation.
