PISM has been used in 100+ peer-reviewed publications to study the past, present and future of glaciers and ice sheets, to gain insight into glaciological processes using synthetic geometries, and to couple to Global Circulation Models (GCMs). 26 27 # Key Functionality 28 29 Features include: 30 * extensible atmospheric/ocean coupling 31 * hybrid shallow stress balance 32 * marine ice sheet physics 33 * polythermal energy conservation 34 * subglacial hydrology and till model 35 * complete overview|documentation 36 * parallel simulations using [MPI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Passing_Interface) & [PETSc](http://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/) 37 * reads and writes [CF-compliant](http://cfconventions.org/) [NetCDF](http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/) 38 * verification and validation tools 39 40 # Recent development 41 42 Coming soon. 43 44 # Availability 45 46 The software is distributed under a GNU General Public License v3.0 and is available from <https://github.com/pism/pism>. 47 48 # Acknowledgements 49 50 Coming soon. 51 52
