The 2016 Ice Sheet System Model (ISSM) Workshop took place at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, USA, from June 21st to 23rd. Hosted by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in collaboration with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the University of California at Irvine, the workshop was sponsored by Pr.
Helen Fricker. The three-day event focused on ISSM, offering interactive sessions for both beginners and advanced users, as well as developers seeking to learn how to utilize the model. Updates to ISSM since the 2014 Workshop, including user-requested features, were presented, with a strong emphasis on tutorials enabling users to work with altimetry data and simulate the evolution of ice shelf and grounded ice surface topography.
Data assimilation was also a key component of several tutorials, with inverse methods playing a significant role. Participants were encouraged to present their work through an open poster session, and science talks were organized around pertinent topics. For the 2016 Workshop, attendees were asked to bring their own laptops, with ISSM binaries readily available for download if installation on personal devices was not possible.
A limited number of laptops were also provided onsite. The organizers hoped the event would foster fruitful interactions between the ISSM development team, the expanding community of ISSM users, and the broader cryosphere research community.
