The Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project for CMIP6 (ISMIP6) brings together a consortium of international ice-sheet and climate modellers to simulate the contribution from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets to future sea-level rise. In this document, we describe the set-up and main results of the ISMIP6 Greenland Tier-1 and Tier-2 experiments carried out with the ice-sheet model SICOPOLIS. The companion document for the Antarctic ice sheet is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3971232. V1.0.1: References updated; some minor corrections. V1: Full report. V0.1: Abstract only.
