Collaborative Research: Machine-enabled modeling of terminus ablation for Greenland's outl — NSF Award to University of Pennsylvan

Predicting future sea level relies on improved modeling of how the climate forces the ice sheet to change. This is particularly challenging at the ice-ocean boundary where there are multiple processes occurring simultaneously. At present, no single equation adequately describes the changing ice-ocean boundary, which po

AbstractPredicting future sea level relies on improved modeling of how the climate forces the ice sheet to change. This is particularly challenging at the ice-ocean boundary where there are multiple processes occurring simultaneously. At present, no single equation adequately describes the changing ice-ocean boundary, which poses problems for coupling ice sheet models to climate models. This project will improve understanding of how the variables that influence the ice-ocean boundary may change over tim
