How warm was Greenland during the last interglacial period? [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2016 The last interglacial period (LIG, ∼ 129–116 thousand years ago) provides the most recent case study of multimillennial polar warming above the preindustrial level and a response of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets to this warming, as well as a ...

The diversity and abundance of chytrids on the Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]
Scientific ReportsZoosporic fungi of the Chytridiomycota phylum are lethal parasites of algae in Arctic freshwater and marine environments. The presence of members of the Chytridiomycota phylum has also been confirmed by amplicon sequencing and microscopy in various ...

Evidence of local and regional freshening of Northeast Greenland coastal waters [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 The supply of freshwater to fjord systems in Greenland is increasing as a result of climate change-induced acceleration in ice sheet melt. However, insight into the marine implications of the melt water is impaired by lack of observations demonstrating ...

Increased crevassing across accelerating Greenland Ice Sheet margins. [PDF]
Nat GeosciAbstract Surface crevassing on the Greenland Ice Sheet is a large source of uncertainty in processes controlling mass loss due to a lack of comprehensive observations of their location and evolution through time. Here we use high-resolution digital elevation models to map the three-dimensional volume of crevasse fields across the Greenland ...

Greater Greenland Ice Sheet contribution to global sea level rise in CMIP6 [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 The potential contribution of Greenland Ice Sheet to sea level rise in the future is known to be substantial. Here, the authors undertake new modelling showing that the Greenland Ice Sheet sea level rise contribution is 7.9 cm more using the CMIP6 SSP585

Drill-site selection for cosmogenic-nuclide exposure dating of the bed of the Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Direct observations of the size of the Greenland Ice Sheet during Quaternary interglaciations are sparse yet valuable for testing numerical models of ice-sheet history and sea level contribution. Recent measurements of cosmogenic nuclides in bedrock from

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 27-82., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

ICE FLOW VELOCITY MAPPING IN GREENLAND USING HISTORICAL IMAGES FROM 1960s TO 1980s: SCHEME DESIGN [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2022 Ice flow velocity over long time series in Greenland plays a vital role in estimating and predicting the mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet and its contribution to global sea level rise.

Investigating the local-scale influence of sea ice on Greenland surface melt [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 Rapid decline in Arctic sea ice cover in the 21st century may have wide-reaching effects on the Arctic climate system, including the Greenland ice sheet mass balance. Here, we investigate whether local changes in sea ice around the Greenland ice sheet

Possibility of Stabilizing the Greenland Ice Sheet
Earth's Future, 2021 Recent acceleration in the retreat of the Greenland ice sheet under a warming climate has caused unprecedented challenges and threats to coastal communities due to the rising sea level and increasing storm surges.
