The ACE climate and ice-sheet modeling workshop will cover three general topics: 1) the geologic record of Antarctic paleoclimates and ice sheets, 2) Antarctic climate and ice sheet models: assessment and applications, and 3) synthesis of climate/ice sheet models and geologic data. We are expecting a lively discussion, focused on developing strategies to better incorporate geologic data into numerical modeling exercises and vice versa.
Workshop background and meeting logistics can be found here.
