Simulation of the Greenland Ice Sheet evolution using different initialization methods
Recent observations show an accelerated ice loss of the Greenland ice sheet during the past few decades which makes it a major contributor to sea-level rise. The SeaRISE experiments have shown the sensitivity of current ice sheet models to external forcing to gain insight into the potential future c...
