ISMIP6 Black and White Logo with no title
The CliC Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison for CMIP6 (ISMIP6) brings together for the first time a consortium of international ice sheet models and coupled ice sheet-climate models to fully explore the sea level rise contribution from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. ISMIP6 is a collaboration between ice sheet and climate modelers, along with observationalists and remote sensed expert over the polar regions.
ISMIP6 was established in fall 2014, but is based on a long history of Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Projects or ISMIP, including the more recent European ice2sea and COMBINE efforts, and the Sea level Response to Ice Sheet Evolution (SeaRISE) community effort.
