Version 1.2

Published: Feb 13, 2020 by The PISM Authors

We are pleased to announce the release of the Parallel Ice Sheet Model (PISM) v1.2.

Compared to v1.1, the new version includes

modifications required by ISMIP6 experiments,
the frontal melt parameterization by Rignot et al (https://doi.org/10.1002/2016GL068784),
the orographic precipitation following Smith and Barstad, A linear theory of orographic precipitation (2004),
the ability to use NCAR ParallelIO for better I/O performance,
numerous bug fixes and minor improvements.

Please see the change log for a complete list.

AWI Bremerhaven: PhD position Projections of future sea-level rise from coupled ice sheet-ocean modelling

The Alfred Wegener Institute, Bremerhaven, is offering a PhD position in the field of coupled ice sheet-ocean modelling. The core of the project is to run simulations with FESOM-PISM (a coupled ocean-ice shelf-ice sheet model with evolving cavity geometries) for different 21st-century climate projections to obtain well-constrained trajectories of future ice mass loss from the vast Antarctic Ice Sheet. Model results will feed into a fingerprinting method that considers the ocean response as well as gravitational effects and contributions from other sources. The final product will be a time series of global maps of regional sea-level variations that consider all of the most relevant processes.
