Flow-band model simulations of the Darwin-Hatherton Glacier System, Antarctica since the Last Glacial Maximum

This dataset contains .mat files of model output from an isothermal, 1.5-dimensional, shallow-ice glacier flow-band model of Darwin and Hatherton glaciers, Antarctica, from the Last Glacial Maximum to present. These results are presented by Hillebrand et al. (2021). The model was used to determine the likelihood of three different deglaciation scenarios potentially allowable by geochronologic data collected near the modern grounding line of Darwin Glacier by evaluating the fit of the tributary Hatherton Glacier in the model to abundant geochronologic data.
