These experiments aim at comparing treatments of grounding-line migration and of the ice-sheet/ ice-shelf transition, both in steady state as in dynamic situations in response to sea-level variations and ice-thickness changes. They are for a schematic geometry and assume lateral symmetry, so that they can be performed by both 2-D and 3-D models.
