This work aims at quantifying uncertainties in sea level projections using forcing from the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project for CMIP6 (ISMIP6). The Community Ice Sheet Model (CISM) is used to run ISMIP6-based projections of ocean-forced Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) evolution. In these experiments we investigate parameters such as basal friction laws, grid resolutions, melt scheme, stress balance approximation among others. These runs span 550 years starting from a spin-up starting at year 1950. The 'Download Options' button links to a README file containing references and more information.
