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.

Investigating the internal structure of the Antarctic ice sheet: the utility of isochrones for spatiotemporal ice-sheet model calibration [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Ice-sheet models are a powerful tool to project the evolution of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and thus their future contribution to global sea-level changes. Testing the ability of ice-sheet models to reproduce the ongoing and past evolution of

Investigating the sensitivity of numerical model simulations of the modern state of the Greenland ice-sheet and its future response to climate change [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2010 Ice thickness and bedrock topography are essential boundary conditions for numerical modelling of the evolution of the Greenland ice-sheet (GrIS). The datasets currently in use by the majority of GrIS modelling studies are over two decades old and based ...

Deglacial climate changes as forced by different ice sheet reconstructions [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2023 During the last deglaciation, the climate evolves from a cold state at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) at 21 ka (thousand years ago) with large ice sheets to the warm Holocene at ∼9 ka with reduced ice sheets.

The Greenland-Ice-Sheet evolution over the last 24 000 years: insights from model simulations evaluated against ice-extent markers [PDF]
The CryosphereContinental ice sheets retain a long-term memory stored in their geometry and thermal properties. In Greenland, this creates a disequilibrium with the present climate, as the ice sheet is still adjusting to past changes that occurred over millennial ...

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.

The effect of buttressing on grounding line dynamics
Journal of Glaciology, 2018 Determining the position and stability of the grounding line of a marine ice sheet is a major challenge for ice-sheet models. Here, we investigate the role of lateral shear and ice-shelf buttressing in grounding line dynamics by extending an existing ...

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

Mid-Holocene thinning of David Glacier, Antarctica: chronology and controls [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Quantitative satellite observations only provide an assessment of ice sheet mass loss over the last four decades. To assess long-term drivers of ice sheet change, geological records are needed. Here we present the first millennial-scale reconstruction of
