Ocean forcing drives glacier retreat in Greenland

Science Advances, 2021
Many Greenland glaciers have been attacked by the ocean from below and, in turn, contributed to sea-level rise from the ice sheet. The retreat and acceleration of Greenland glaciers since the mid-1990s have been attributed to the enhanced intrusion of ...
