Greenland Ice Sheet and rising sea level in a worst-case climate change scenario
Models that simulate sheet flow in the Greenland Ice Sheet balance forces at gridpoints in the map plan, which allows only a slow response to changes in climate forcing. A holistic approach to modeling allows a rapid response that takes place in ice streams. Holistic modeling results are presented t...
