Pre-LGM Northern Hemisphere ice sheet topography [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2013 We here reconstruct the paleotopography of Northern Hemisphere ice sheets during the glacial maxima of marine isotope stages (MIS) 5b and 4.We employ a combined approach, blending geologically based reconstruction and numerical modeling, to arrive at ...

Nonlinear response of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to late Quaternary sea level and climate forcing [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 Antarctic ice volume has varied substantially during the late Quaternary, with reconstructions suggesting a glacial ice sheet extending to the continental shelf break and interglacial sea level highstands of several meters.

Simulating the Holocene deglaciation across a marine-terminating portion of southwestern Greenland in response to marine and atmospheric forcings [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Numerical simulations of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) over geologic timescales can greatly improve our knowledge of the critical factors driving GrIS demise during climatically warm periods, which has clear relevance for better predicting GrIS behavior

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.

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.

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.

Ice mass loss sensitivity to the Antarctic ice sheet basal thermal state
Nature Communications, 2022 This study uses ice sheet modeling experiments to show that thawing portions of the Antarctic ice sheet bed can increase century-scale mass loss, particularly in the Wilkes and Enderby Land regions of East Antarctica.

Ambiguous stability of glaciers at bed peaks
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Increasing ice flux from glaciers retreating over deepening (retrograde) bed topography has been implicated in the recent acceleration of mass loss from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets.
