FAntSSIE: Framework for Antarctic System Science in E3SM

This work strives to reduce uncertainty in sea-level rise projections by developing an Antarctic system framework that resolves key Antarctic processes in several Earth system models.

earth system model (ESM)

A model that simulates how chemistry, biology, and physical forces work together. These models are similar to, but much more comprehensive than, global climate models.

We are introducing new methods and using simulations with the hope that results improve our ability to project the impact of climate change
