Greenland ice sheet climate disequilibrium and committed sea-level rise

Nature Climate Change, 2022
Ice loss from the Greenland ice sheet is one of the largest sources of contemporary sea-level rise (SLR). While process-based models place timescales on Greenland’s deglaciation, their confidence is obscured by model shortcomings including imprecise ...

Low prevalence of patients diagnosed with psoriasis in Nuuk: a call for increased awareness of chronic skin disease in Greenland

International Journal of Circumpolar Health, 2022
The objective of this study was to estimate the age- and gender-specific prevalence of psoriasis in Nuuk. Furthermore, we aimed to explore the common risk factors and comorbidities for patients with psoriasis compared to an age- and gender-matched ...

The future sea-level contribution of the Greenland ice sheet: a multi-model ensemble study of ISMIP6

The Cryosphere, 2020
. The Greenland ice sheet is one of the largest contributors to global mean sea-level rise today and is expected to continue to lose mass as the Arctic continues to warm.

Ice dynamics will remain a primary driver of Greenland ice sheet mass loss over the next century

Communications Earth & Environment, 2021
The mass loss of the Greenland Ice Sheet is nearly equally partitioned between a decrease in surface mass balance from enhanced surface melt and an increase in ice dynamics from the acceleration and retreat of its marine-terminating glaciers.

High burden of symptoms reported among patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Greenland after introducing the COPD Assessment Test in clinical practice

International Journal of Circumpolar Health, 2023
The aim was to test the internal consistency of the Greenlandic version of the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) questionnaire and to estimate the symptom burden in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Greenland using the CAT ...

Dynamic ice loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet driven by sustained glacier retreat

Communications Earth & Environment, 2020
The Greenland Ice Sheet is losing mass at accelerated rates in the 21st century, making it the largest single contributor to rising sea levels. Faster flow of outlet glaciers has substantially contributed to this loss, with the cause of speedup, and ...

Glacial meltwater and primary production are drivers of strong CO₂ uptake in fjord and coastal waters adjacent to the Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2015
The Greenland Ice Sheet releases large amounts of freshwater, which strongly influences the physical and chemical properties of the adjacent fjord systems and continental shelves.

Return to rapid ice loss in Greenland and record loss in 2019 detected by the GRACE-FO satellites

Communications Earth & Environment, 2020
Between 2003-2016, the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) was one of the largest contributors to sea level rise, as it lost about 255 Gt of ice per year. This mass loss slowed in 2017 and 2018 to about 100 Gt yr−1. Here we examine further changes in rate of GrIS
