PISM, a Parallel Ice Sheet Model

The Parallel Ice Sheet Model is an open source, parallel, high-resolution ice sheet model:

• hierarchy of available stress balances
• marine ice sheet physics, dynamic calving fronts
• polythermal, enthalpy-based conservation of energy scheme
• extensible coupling to atmospheric and ocean models
• verification and validation tools
• documentation <pism-docs_>_ for users and developers
• uses MPI and PETSc for parallel simulations
• reads and writes CF-compliant <cf_> NetCDF files

PISM is jointly developed at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks (UAF) <uaf_> and the `Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) <pik>_. UAF developers are based in theGlaciers Group _ at theGeophysical Institute `_.

Please see ACKNOWLEDGE.rst and doc/funding.csv for a list of grants supporting PISM development.
