Implementation and performance of adaptive mesh refinement in the Ice Sheet System Model (ISSM v4.14)

<p>Accurate projections of the evolution of ice sheets in a changing climate require a fine mesh/grid resolution in ice sheet models to correctly capture fundamental physical processes, such as the evolution of the grounding line, the region where grounded ice starts to float. The evolution of...
