Description

Data and code to accompany the journal publication "Sea-Level Rise in Southwest Greenland as a Contributor to Viking Abandonment" in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS). This dataset includes data sets, computer codes and associated scripts, necessary to reproduce results in the article: (1) the surface computational grid; (2) model Greenland Ice Sheet history in time steps of 20 years from 1000 CE to present-day; (3) code to compute the relative sea-level change at any user specified set of sites across the same time steps; (4) code to map (2) and (3) on to conventional grids (e.g., latitude-longitude; Gauss-Legendre, etc.) based on a non-linear interpolation of data on a triangular grid via a second-order scheme; (5) code to convert sea level changes into time series of past topography from which flooding geometry (i.e., shoreline migration) can be tracked; and (6) code to integrate the flood geometries in (5) to compute time series of total flood area.
