Description
Summary:The last few years have seen a great deal of effort invested by various research groups in developing numerical marine ice sheet models that are intended to represent accurately the motion of an ice sheet grounding line. This effort has seen a variety of models emerge. It is at present unclear to what extent these models agree with one another, or indeed, how well
