Welcometo the Ice-sheet and Sea-level System Model (ISSM) website (formerly, Ice Sheet System Model). ISSM is the result of a collaboration between the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Dartmouth College, and University of California at Irvine. Its purpose is to tackle the challenge of modeling the evolution of the polar ice caps in Greenland and Antarctica.ISSM is open source and is funded by the NASA Cryosphere, IceBridge Research and MAP (Modeling Analysis and Prediction) programs, JPL R&TD (Research, Technology and Development) and the National Science Foundation. Large scale ice flow models are necessary that can accurately model the evolution of Greenland and Antarctica in a warming climate. In order to achieve this goal, and improve projections of future sea level rise, ISSM relies on state of the art technologies. These include:
