Video: Antarctic Ice Sheet Simulations
by staff from High-Performance Computing News Analysis | insideHPC on (#413CG)
In this video, the DOE SciDAC-funded BISICLES experiment investigates the millennial-scale vulnerability of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) due solely to the loss of its ice shelves. Starting at the present-day, the AIS evolves for 1000 years, exposing the floating ice shelves to an extreme thinning rate, which results in their complete collapse. The visualizations show the first 500 years of the simulation -- after that point, the ice sheet continues to evolve and retreat, but less dramatically.
