Eighty-four scientists from fifteen countries. Twenty-one regions of the world with glaciers or ice sheets. Thousands of computer simulations. How was all this put together to predict the land ice contribution to sea level rise this century for the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report? I will describe using statistical “emulation” to synthesise projections from several international teams in the most comprehensive effort yet to predict 21st century sea level rise.
