A Gaussian process emulator for simulating ice sheet–climate interactions on a multi-million-year timescale: CLISEMv1.0 [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2021 On multi-million-year timescales, fully coupled ice sheet–climate simulations are hampered by computational limitations, even at coarser resolutions and when using asynchronous coupling schemes.

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

Marine ice sheet experiments with the Community Ice Sheet Model [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Ice sheet models differ in their numerical treatment of dynamical processes. Simulations of marine-based ice are sensitive to the choice of Stokes flow approximation and basal friction law and to the treatment of stresses and melt rates near the ...

Drill-site selection for cosmogenic-nuclide exposure dating of the bed of the Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Direct observations of the size of the Greenland Ice Sheet during Quaternary interglaciations are sparse yet valuable for testing numerical models of ice-sheet history and sea level contribution. Recent measurements of cosmogenic nuclides in bedrock from

Active subglacial lakes and channelized water flow beneath the Kamb Ice Stream [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 We identify two previously unknown subglacial lakes beneath the stagnated trunk of the Kamb Ice Stream (KIS). Rapid fill-drain hydrologic events over several months are inferred from surface height changes measured by CryoSat-2 altimetry and indicate ...

Simulating the Early Holocene demise of the Laurentide Ice Sheet with BISICLES (public trunk revision 3298) [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2020 Simulating the demise of the Laurentide Ice Sheet covering Hudson Bay in the Early Holocene (10–7 ka) is important for understanding the role of accelerated changes in ice sheet topography and melt in the 8.2 ka event, a century long ...

Sensitivity of Heinrich-type ice-sheet surge characteristics to boundary forcing perturbations [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2023 Heinrich-type ice-sheet surges are one of the prominent signals of glacial climate variability. They are characterised as abrupt, quasi-periodic episodes of ice-sheet instabilities during which large numbers of icebergs are released from the Laurentide ...

How might the North American ice sheet influence the northwestern Eurasian climate? [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2015 It is now widely acknowledged that past Northern Hemisphere ice sheets covering Canada and northern Europe at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) exerted a strong influence on climate by causing changes in atmospheric and oceanic circulations.

PISM-LakeCC: Implementing an adaptive proglacial lake boundary in an ice sheet model [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 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.

Simulating the Antarctic ice sheet in the late-Pliocene warm period: PLISMIP-ANT, an ice-sheet model intercomparison project [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 In the context of future climate change, understanding the nature and behaviour of ice sheets during warm intervals in Earth history is of fundamental importance.
