 The Greenland reconstruction is the GrB model described in Tarasov and Peltier( GJI 2002 and JGR 2003).  It's a hand tuning of a 3D thermo-mechanically coupled glaciological shallow ice-sheet model and visco-elastic bedrock response model (using the same VM2 rheology used for ICE-5G) to fit the Relative Sea-Level (RSL) observations, the GRIP borehole temperature and age profiles, and approximate basal temperatures at CampCentury and Dye3 along with secondary constraints described in the references.
-The North American and Eurasian reconstructions are objective Bayesian calibrations of the MUN/UofT glacial systems model (above 3D model plus asynchronously coupled down-slope surface drainage/lake depth solver, and various other components such as a thermodynamic lake ice, sub-glacial till-deformation, ice-shelf represention,..., some of which are described in Tarasov and Peltier, QSR 2004, and Nature 2005, and a more complete description is currently being written up). The calibration involves approximately 30 ensemble parameters to capture uncertainties in deglacial uncertainties in deglacial climate and ice dynamics. Model runs cover a full glacial cycle. The climate forcing for the calibration is based on interpolation between a glacial state (based on a combination of PMIPI for North America and PMIP II for Eurasia) LGM model output temperature and precipitation climatologies along with further regional precipitation controls) and a present-day climatology. The interpolation between glacial and present-day states is weighted to the regional temperature chronology from the tuned Greenland reconstruction.  Calibration targets include a large set of RSL observations, geologically-inferred deglacial ice-margin chronologies, and geodetic constraints. For the case of North America, the calibrated ensemble is further scored with respect to strand-lines (paleo lake level indicators) and Marine Limit (maximum level of marine inundation) observations.

 The data sets for North America and Eurasia will include surface elevation, ice mask, lake depth, surface drainage routing pointer fields and ice flux components of the surface drainage.

-Glaciological constraints have shown that the ice5G reconstruction was too high in East Antarctica. Several tests are now made using a revised version of ICE-5G (VM2=ICE-6G) to correct this aspect while keeping the global on see level and other geomorphological constraints. Dick Peltier’s group is working now on smoothing the refine model and taking the extension of the loading of the shelf out to a distance from the present coast consistent with a specific bathymetry contour. The final version should be ready by September.
