Description
Summary:The objective is to compare the different existing models when they are applied to a real ice sheet. There is a glaciological interest to see how the different models perform in real cases. Another purpose more linked to climate studies is to estimate the validity of the reconstructions the models can produce. The time scale of these reconstructions is either the
