Forty-six years of Greenland Ice Sheet mass balance from 1972 to 2018

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance We reconstruct the mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet for the past 46 years by comparing glacier ice discharge into the ocean with interior accumulation of snowfall from regional atmospheric climate models over 260 drainage basins.

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.

Earliest Holocene south Greenland ice sheet retreat within its late Holocene extent [PDF]

, 2014
Early Holocene summer warmth drove dramatic Greenland ice sheet (GIS) retreat. Subsequent insolation-driven cooling caused GIS margin readvance to late Holocene maxima, from which ice margins are now retreating.

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

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 ...

Reporting chronic kidney disease in Greenland

International Journal of Circumpolar Health, 2023
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health burden affecting more than 10% of the global population. It is a multifactorial disease with many risk factors attributed lifestyle diseases.

Subglacial roughness of the Greenland Ice Sheet: relationship with contemporary ice velocity and geology

The Cryosphere, 2019
. The subglacial environment of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is poorly constrained both in its bulk properties, for example geology, the presence of sediment, and the presence of water, and interfacial conditions, such as roughness and bed rheology ...

Continuity of Ice Sheet Mass Loss in Greenland and Antarctica From the GRACE and GRACE Follow‐On Missions

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
We examine data continuity between the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and GRACE Follow‐On (FO) missions over Greenland and Antarctica using independent data from the mass budget method, which calculates the difference between ice sheet ...

Ice sheets as a significant source of highly reactive nanoparticulate iron to the oceans [PDF]

, 2014
The Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets cover ~\n10% of global land surface, but are rarely considered as active components of the global iron cycle. The ocean waters around both ice sheets harbour highly productive coastal ecosystems, many of which are ...

BedMachine v3: Complete Bed Topography and Ocean Bathymetry Mapping of Greenland From Multibeam Echo Sounding Combined With Mass Conservation

Geophysical Research Letters, 2017
Greenland's bed topography is a primary control on ice flow, grounding line migration, calving dynamics, and subglacial drainage. Moreover, fjord bathymetry regulates the penetration of warm Atlantic water (AW) that rapidly melts and undercuts Greenland ...
