Parameterising the grounding line in flow-line ice sheet models
Realistic predictions of the behaviour of marine ice sheets require that models are able to robustly simulate grounding line migration. Fixed-grid ice sheet models have been shown to exhibit inconsistent and hence unreliable grounding line migration, except at very high resolution not yet achievable...
