Ice sheet extent and height in CESM output?

Hi folks! Is there a way to determine the extent and height of ice sheets in CESM output? For example, I'd like variables which specify something like ground type and elevation.

For context, I'm looking at iTRACE output (https://www.earthsystemgrid.org/dataset/ucar.cgd.ccsm4.iTRACE.html). This simulation is based on ICE-6g ice sheets, but the ocean coastlines are a bit different (e.g. the Barents Sea becomes ocean at 14ka, which is still partially glaciated in ICE-6g). So I'm looking for clarification. Thanks!

I looked into this a bit on Friday and I was very confused because the data description says the runs used "active glaciers" but there is no glacier data. I'm going to ask around and see what I can find out.
