Uncertainties related to ice-sheet contributions to future sea-level rise can be better quantified if multiple models are used to simulate the same period, and with the same forcing climatologies. To that end, ISMIP6 simulated both the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets over the current century using climate forcings from both CMIP5 & 6. We contributed to both intercomparisons, using model configurations we had developed and refined over many years. We continue to work on related simulations, for example the new ISMIP2300 experiments that investigate multi-centennial changes in the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The results of the original initiatives were published in a series of papers:
