Come and join us for a Splinter Meeting at EGU, Vienna, Austria!
SPM44 will be held in Room: 2.97 (30) on Monday during the lunch break (12:45–13:45pm). This will be an opportunity to give feedback on the protocol for ISMIP7.
Our annual preAGU meeting!
Location: The The Woodlands at Algonkian , Algonkian Regional Park, 47001 Fairway Drive, Sterling, VA 20165, USA
Date/Time: June 10 – June 14, 2024.
The workshop primary goal is to revisit the decisions that led to the ISMIP6 standalone ice sheet model protocol and design draft protocols for ISMIP7. ISMIP7 has launched a series of focus groups on SMB, Ice-ocean interactions, Antarctic ice-shelf collapse, Sea level and GIA, and observations. A key focus for ISMIP7 is how to improve the historical simulations of ice sheets. The workshop will provide an opportunity for these focus groups to interact with each other as well as with the ISMIP ice sheet modelers. We will also invite stakeholders.
The workshop will be designed to be a creative, collaborative event, that will review and identify the limitation of ISMIP6 and assess progress since ISMIP6. It will include 1) brief presentations of plans for ISMIP7/CMIP7, current thoughts from focus groups and other projects, current ISM capabilities 2) multiple breakout groups and 3) discussions of paths forwards and identifying deadlines for delivery of sea level projections from ISMIP7 to be considered by IPCC AR7. This will be also be the time to try ideas in models, draft preliminary papers etc. Outcomes and feedback from this workshop will be presented to the community at the two smaller workshop linked to IGS and Fall AGU.
We have a limited number of places and would like to accommodate as many expertise as possible, if interested in participating, please email ismip6-at-gmail.com. This workshop is sponsored by the Heising Simons Foundation , and we aim to sponsor lodging in shared cottages and flights for as many participants as possible. If you would like to have your flight sponsored by the event, you will need to use the provided travel agency.
Location: IGS 2024 (International Symposium of Verification and Validation of Cryospheric Models) , Northumbria University, Newcastle, UK
Date/Time: August 4 – August 9, 2024, especially August 6, 2024.
This is a special workshop as we will review the current ideas for the ISMIP7 protocol. We will also be accepting our IGS Richardson Team award, so it will be a great opportunity to celebrate all that ISMIP6 accomplished! Please register your interest here .

Date/Time: Sunday, December 8, 2024, ~12PM-5PM
We are pleased to be organizing an ISMIP7 event @ Fall AGU 2024! These in person meetings were one of our favorite aspects of ISMIP6. Sign up here .
Location: The Firehouse , Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, 2 Marina Blvd Landmark Building C, Suite 260 San Francisco, CA 94123, USA
Date/Time: Sunday, December 10, 2023, ~12PM–5PM
We are pleased to be organizing an ISMIP6 event @ Fall AGU 2023! These in person meetings were one of our favorite aspect of ISMIP6. We have started the transition from ISMIP6 to ISMIP7). This one afternoon workshop on December 10 will be dedicated to the planning of ISMIP7, review, build on and gain feedback on the work done so far. Our current target is both standalone ice sheet models and coupled climate ice sheet models (but the focus may change depending on who is coming).
To help us organize this workshop and final headcount for lunch and coffee, please fill in the form by November 20, 2023. If you would still like to join us after this date, send an email to ismip6-at-gmail.com.
Location: Trieste, Italy
Date/Time: September 11 – September 14, 2023
Location: CityCube Berlin , Berlin, Germany
Date/Time: July 11 – July 20, 2023
Location: IUGG Montreal, Montreal, CA
Date/Time: July 14, 2019
The goal of the workshop is to analyze the ISMIP6 simulations and work on the papers that will be coming out in the coming months for AR6. Our idea was to work on both standalone ISM and coupled climate-ISM simulations, with the following goals identified when the workshop proposal was submitted:
Location: Vienna, Austria
Date/Time: April 10, 2019
Date/Time: December 9, 2018
Location: Van der Valk Hotel Sassenheim-Leiden , Netherlands
Date/Time: September 11 – September 13, 2018
We invite you to the ISMIP6 workshop “Developing process-based projections of the ice sheets’ contribution to future sea level” to evaluate the output of the CMIP6 climate models and obtain forcing for standalone ice sheet model experiments. This workshop will be key for establishing the experimental protocols for the ice sheet model simulations that target the IPCC AR6 report.
Location: Bourbon Orleans Hotel , French Quarter, 717 Orleans St., New Orleans, LA, USA
Date/Time: December 10, 2017
Date/Time: April 25, 2017
Splinter meeting to discuss results of initMIP-Antarctica with the participants (SMP18).
Date/Time: December 10 – December 11, 2016
ISMIP6 is hosting two workshops, the first one on initMIP (10th December 2016), the second one on ocean forcing for ice sheet models (11th December 2016). This scoping meeting will set the direction for the standalone ice sheet component of ISMIP6, and lay the foundation for a more detailed evaluation of CMIP6 models and generation of oceanic forcing in late 2017.
December 10, 2016 Workshop: Initialization of ice sheet models (initMIP)
Specific goals of the workshop are:
December 11, 2016 Workshop: Oceanic forcing for ice sheet models
Specific goals of the workshop are to:
Date/Time: April 19, 2016
Splinter meeting to discuss results of initMIP-Greenland with the participants (SMP6).
Location: San Francisco, CA, USA
Date/Time: December 12 – December 13, 2015
The workshop will focus on the impact of different initialization methods on projections of ice sheet evolution. It will also be an opportunity to meet other members of ISMIP6, find out more about the ISMIP6 framework and upcoming experiments, and provide feedback to the steering committee.
Location: Churchill College, University of Cambridge, Storey’s Way, Cambridge CB3 0DS, UK
This meeting will focus on one of the components of ISMIP6: the standalone ice sheet models driven offline by surface climatic forcing from climate models. Past efforts, such as SeaRISE and ice2sea, have indicated that different methods for initialization of ice sheet models (interglacial spinup, assimilation of present day observations, or a combination of both) may play an important role in the spread in projection of ice sheet evolution, and thus may contribute to the uncertainty in projection of sea level. ISMIP6 is therefore designing an experiment that focuses on the initialization of ice sheet models.
Date/Time: April 15, 2015
The first intercomparison exercise within ISMIP6, which will focus on standalone ice sheet model initialization is opening soon for participation. We are therefore organizing a splinter meeting at the upcoming EGU General Assembly 2015 in Vienna to present and discuss the experimental set-up with the community of ice sheet modelers.
Location: NASA GSFC , 9432 Greenbelt Road, Greenbelt, MD 20771, USA
Date/Time: July 16 – July 18, 2014
The meeting goal is to develop an Ice Sheet MIP proposal for participation in the CMIP6 initiative. The kickoff meeting where it all started.
