Increasing extreme melt in northeast Greenland linked to foehn winds and atmospheric rivers
Nature Communications, 2023 The Greenland Ice Sheet has been losing mass at an increased rate in recent decades. In northeast Greenland, increasing surface melt has accompanied speed-ups in the outlet glaciers of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream, which contain over one meter of ...

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 ...

Programme for Monitoring of the Greenland Ice Sheet (PROMICE) automatic weather station data
Earth System Science Data, 2021 . The Programme for Monitoring of the Greenland Ice Sheet (PROMICE) has been measuring climate and ice sheet properties since 2007. Currently, the PROMICE automatic weather station network includes 25 instrumented sites in Greenland.

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 ...

Submarine melting of glaciers in Greenland amplified by atmospheric warming
Nature Geoscience, 2022 Rapid ice loss from the Greenland ice sheet since 1992 is due in equal parts to increased surface melting and accelerated ice flow. The latter is conventionally attributed to ocean warming, which has enhanced submarine melting of the fronts of Greenland ...

Incidence and prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in the Greenlandic Inuit: A register-based study
Diabetes Epidemiology and Management, 2022 Aims: Assess the incidence and prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) among all persons registered with diabetes in the electronic medical records (EMR) from 2016 to 2020 and investigate factors associated with both incident and prevalent DR.

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.

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.

Dyslipidemia and the preventive potential in the Greenlandic population
Atherosclerosis Plus, 2023 Background: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a well-established risk factor for development of cardiovascular diseases. Based on available clinical data, we aimed to investigate the plasma lipid profile in the Greenlandic population, the ...
