TROIS AS Results
December 2020 - New accumulation and melt projections at the surface of the Amundsen ice shelves
We have built projections of surface mass balance (SMB) and surface melt of the Amundsen sector of West Antarctica, to 2080–2100, based on the CMIP5 multi-model mean under the RCP8.5 scenario… Read more
September 2020 - Several papers published on the methods and projections of ISMIP6
The main results from the Ice Sheet Model intercomparison Project for CMIP6 (ISMIP6 ) have been published today. They include new sea-level projections to 2100 induced by mass changes of the Antarctic ice sheets… Read more
March 2020 - New paper on data assimilation in a transient marine ice sheet model
Assimilation of surface observations in transient Elmer/Ice simulations using an ensemble Kalman filter… Read more
May 2019 - New paper on InitMIP - Antarctica
A paper published in The Cryosphere presents the results of initMIP-Antarctica from 25 ice sheet simulations performed by 16 international modeling groups, including IGE. The submitted results use different initial conditions and initialization methods, as well as ice flow model parameters and reference external forcings… [Read more]
May 2019 - New paper on simulating and parameterizing ice/ocean interactions
In this new paper in GMD led by Lionel Favier, we present the new Elmer/Ice-NEMO ice-ocean coupled model, and we use it to evaluate sub-ice-shelf melt parameterizations implemented in Elmer/Ice. These parameterizations include… [Read more]
January 2019 - New paper on firction laws and ice mass loss projections
The Antartic ice sheet represents the world’s largest potential contributor to future sea level rise… [Read more]
November 2018 - New paper on tide-induced ice-shelf melting
Tides influence the ocean temperature and salinity in many ways, in particular in Antarctic seas… [Read more]
February 2018 - Some good reasons to include ice sheets in Earth System Models
In their recent paper, Marion Donat-Magnin and colleagues bring strong arguments in favour of the inclusion of ice sheet models in Earth System Models (ESMs)… [Read more]
December 2017 - Impact of increasing glacial freshwater release on the Antarctic sea ice
In their new paper, Merino et al. propose a refined methodology to calculate and distribute the increased freshwater release from the Antarctic ice sheet from the early 1990s to the 2000s… [Read more]
October 2017 - New review on ocean/ice-sheet interaction
Xylar Asay-Davis, Yoshihiro Nakayama and Nicolas Jourdain have written a review on recent developments (over the last 3 years) in simulating and parameterizing interactions between the Southern Ocean and the Antarctic Ice Sheet… [Read more]
March 2017 - Ocean circulation and sea-ice thinning induced by melting ice shelves
This is the first paper from the TROIS AS ANR project, and the first paper written at IGE/CNRS/UGA on the simulation of under-ice-shelf seas… [Read more]
January 2017 - Contribution to ISOMIP+
We have contributed to the 2nd Ice Shelf-Ocean Model Intercomparison Project (ISOMIP+) using the NEMO ocean model… [Read more]
