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 for users and developers
uses MPI and PETSc for parallel simulations
reads and writes CF-compliant NetCDF files

PISM is jointly developed at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks (UAF) and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). UAF developers are based in the Glaciers Group at the Geophysical Institute.

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