Understanding and projecting ice sheet evolution and tipping dynamics for future sea level rise.
Understanding and projecting ice sheet evolution and tipping dynamics for future sea level rise.
Session ID#: 282732
Session Description:
The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets represent the largest sources of uncertainty in projections of sea-level rise at 2100 and beyond. This session focuses on recent progress in ice-sheet modeling and its implications for sea-level projections across a range of temporal and spatial scales. We invite contributions linked to international coordinated efforts, including the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project for CMIP7 (ISMIP7) and the Tipping Points Modelling Intercomparison Project (TIPMIP).  We encourage submissions that quantify and explore uncertainties in ice-sheet evolution, including those arising from model physics, parameterizations, initialization strategies and external forcing. We also seek contributions that examine coupled ice sheet–climate interactions, including feedbacks between the atmosphere, ocean, and cryosphere, and their influence on ice-sheet stability and sea-level rise. Through this session, we aim to foster collaboration and advance a more robust, community-based understanding of ice-sheet contributions to future sea-level change.
