Land Ice Component

The land ice component of the CESM2 is the Community Ice Sheet Model (CISM).

CISM is a next-generation ice sheet model that is used for predicting ice sheet retreat and sea level rise in a warming climate. This model is freely available to the glaciology and climate modeling communities and serves as the ice dynamics component of the Community Earth System Model (CESM).
