Projecting Antarctica's contribution to future sea level rise from basal ice shelf melt using linear response functions of 16 ice sheet models (LARMIP-2)
The sea level contribution of the Antarctic ice sheet constitutes a large uncertainty in future
sea level projections. Here we apply a linear response theory approach to 16 state-of-the-art …

Shallow shelf approximation as a “sliding law” in a thermomechanically coupled ice sheet model
The shallow shelf approximation, a balance of membrane stresses for ice flow, is an effective
“sliding law” for ice sheet modeling. Our use of it as a sliding law becomes a standard model …
