We are pleased to present LIVVkit v1.0.0.
LIVVkit is a python-based toolkit for verification and validation of Ice Sheet
Models. It aims to provide the following capabilities:
**[Model V&V](https://github.com/LIVVkit/LIVVkit/wiki/VV)**
- Numerical verification -- "Are we solving the equations correctly?"
- Physical validation -- "Are we using the right physics?"
**[Software V&V](https://github.com/LIVVkit/LIVVkit/wiki/VV)**
- Code verification -- "did we build what _we_ wanted?"
- Performance validation -- "did we build what the _users_ wanted?"
Currently, LIVVkit is being developed and used in conjunction with the Community Ice Sheet Model ([CISM](http://oceans11.lanl.gov/cism/documentation.html)), but is designed to be extensible to other models.
