 ===== Introduction =====
+//Note: use paragraph below...
+The ice sheet provided for PMIP3/CMIP5 LGM experiments is a blended product obtained by averaging three different ice sheets:
+  * ICE6G provided by Dick Peltier
+  * MOCA provided by Lev Tarasov
+  * ANU provided by Kurt Lambeck
+A short description and references for the different ice sheets is provided under the link below:
+[[pmip3:design:pi:final:icesheet|LGM icesheet description]]
+This solution was proposed by PMIP bureau in light of a community checking. Given the uncertainties that still exist on the reconstruction of the ice-sheet, resulting from uncertainties in datation for the data used for global or regional constraints, climate intput from ice core temperature reconstructions or climate model simulations, etc... it sounds reasonable to consider that the average is a best estimate of the LGM ice-sheet.//
 Several PMIP participants were in favour of using a new ice-sheet reconstruction for PMIP3/CMIP5 that better matches the geomorphologic and glaciological constraints than the ICE-5G reconstruction used in PMIP2.
