Development of a Higher-Order Ice Sheet Model Using a Rescaled Coordinate System
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has estimated between 9 and 88 cm of sea level rise over the next hundred years. Of this, only negative 19 to 11 cm is attributed to the largest ice masses on the planet, the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. Over the last decade, dramatic …

Uncertainty in atmospheric CO₂ concentrations from a parametric uncertainty analysis of a global ocean carbon cycle model
… yr-1, consistent with the range estimated by the IPCC of 2.0 Pg yr~1 ± 0.8 Pg (1992; 1994; 1995). The range cited in the IPCC study and widely reported elsewhere is principally the product of the structural uncertainty implied by an amalgamation of the results of several ocean carbon sink models …
