Abstract
Numerical ice-sheet models are a key tool to estimate the contribution of ice sheets to past sea-level change. Here, we highlight a few developments and applications of ice-sheet models that allow ice-sheet contributions to past sea-level changes to be estimated.

Geological evidence indicates that global mean sea level during the mid-Piacenzian Warm Period (mPWP) and Last Interglacial (LIG) were likely to be up to 20 m or more (Miller et al 2012) and 6-9 m (Dutton et al 2015) relative to the present, respectively
Of the present mass budget of the GrIS, surface melting accounts for 60% of the mass loss
