Introduction

The Parallel Ice Sheet Model (PISM) is an open source, parallel, high-resolution ice sheet model written in C++. PISM has been used in 100+ peer-reviewed publications to study the past, present and future of glaciers and ice sheets, to gain insight into glaciological processes using synthetic geometries, and to couple to Global Circulation Models (GCMs).

Key Functionality

Features include:

  • extensible atmospheric/ocean coupling
  • hybrid shallow stress balance
  • marine ice sheet physics
  • polythermal energy conservation
  • subglacial hydrology and till model
  • complete overview|documentation
  • parallel simulations using MPI & PETSc
  • reads and writes CF-compliant NetCDF
  • verification and validation tools

Recent development

Coming soon.
