Earth_Model_Data is a zipped folder containing the Earth model data for both the standard model (V3D_SD and V3D_RH). A readme file is in this folder. 

FPRINT_CODE is a zipped folder containing the fingerprint code. A readme file for the code is also in this folder. 

WAmask_512.gz is a mask for West/East Antarctica, used for masking out changes in East Antarctica.  

All other files are sea-level outputs for each of the runs on a degree 512 Gauss-Legendre grid (uniform longitudes but unevenly spaced latitudes, as described in the readme for FPRINT_CODE). Files are named SLt_??? and numbered from 0 (elastic response) to 105 (10 ky). They have a 1D layout, with the first line being the time tag in years followed by 512*1024 row entries. A time array is included (tt_v10.dat). More details are in README.tx

Geodetic, seismic, and geological evidence indicates that West Antarctica is underlain by low-viscosity shallow mantle. Thus, as marine-based sectors of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) retreated during past interglacials, or will retreat in the future, exposed bedrock will rebound rapidly and flux meltwater out into the open ocean. Previous studies have suggested that this contribution to global mean sea level (GMSL) rise is small and occurs slowly. We challenge this notion using sea level predictions that incorporate both the outflux mechanism and complex three-dimensional viscoelastic mantle structure. In the case of the last interglacial, where the GMSL contribution from WAIS collapse is often cited as ~3 to 4 meters, the outflux mechanism contributes ~1 meter of additional GMSL change within ~1 thousand years of the collapse. Using a projection of future WAIS collapse, we also demonstrate that the outflux can substantially amplify GMSL rise estimates over the next century
