Twenty-first century ocean forcing of the Greenland ice sheet for modelling of sea level contribution

The Cryosphere, 2020
. Changes in ocean temperature and salinity are expected to be an important determinant of the Greenland ice sheet's future sea level contribution. Yet, simulating the impact of these changes in continental-scale ice sheet models remains challenging due ...

Rapid ablation zone expansion amplifies north Greenland mass loss

Science Advances, 2019
Increased summer cloudiness triggers rapid ablation zone expansion in north Greenland, amplifying the mass loss. Since the early 1990s, the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) has been losing mass at an accelerating rate, primarily due to enhanced meltwater ...
