Greenland Ice Sheet solid ice discharge from 1986 through 2017

open access: yesEarth System Science Data, 2019
. We present a 1986 through 2017 estimate of Greenland Ice Sheet ice discharge. Our data include all discharging ice that flows faster than 100 m yr−1 and are generated through an automatic and adaptable method, as opposed to conventional hand-picked ...

Radiostratigraphy Reflects the Present-Day, Internal Ice Flow Field in the Ablation Zone of Western Greenland

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2018
Englacial radar reflectors in the ablation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet are derived from layering deposited in the accumulation zone over past millennia. The original layer structure is distorted by ice flow toward the margin.

Feasibility of GNSS-R ice sheet altimetry in Greenland using TDS-1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Radar altimetry provides valuable measurements to characterize the state and the evolution of the ice sheet cover of Antartica and Greenland. Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) has the potential to complement the dedicated radar ...

Morphology and sedimentology of murtooized terrain on the southern Fraser Plateau, British Columbia, Canada

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Recent public releases of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data in south central British Columbia (BC), Canada have revealed several landforms resembling ‘murtoos’, previously identified across portions of Scandinavia. In this study, we investigate the morphology and sedimentology of these landforms, the first report of their kind associated with ...

Update of annual calving front lines for 47 marine terminating outlet glaciers in Greenland (1999–2018)

open access: yesGeological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2019
The Greenland ice sheet has been losing mass in response to increased surface melting (Khan et al. 2015; van den Broeke et al. 2017) as well as discharge of ice from marine terminating outlet glaciers (van den Broeke et al. 2009; Box et al. 2018). Marine

Greenland Ice Sheet and rising sea level in a worst-case climate change scenario [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Models that simulate sheet flow in the Greenland Ice Sheet balance forces at gridpoints in the map plan, which allows only a slow response to changes in climate forcing.

Unilateral Action on Climate Change and the Moral Obligation to Take Leadership

open access: yesJournal of Social Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We claim that a moral obligation to take climate leadership by means of unilateral mitigation depends on the existence of a plausible follow‐the‐leader mechanism whereby unilateral mitigation by some increases the probability of sufficient mitigation by others to avert catastrophic climate impacts.

Greenland ice sheet

open access: yes, 2013
Forty marine-terminating glaciers have been surveyed daily since 2000 using cloud-free MODIS visible imagery (Box and Decker 2011; http://bprc. osu.edu/MODIS/). The net area change of the 40 glaciers during the period of observation has been -1775 km2, with the 18 northernmost (>72°N) glaciers alone contributing to half of the net area change.

Sovereign Debt in a Warming World: Are Credit Ratings Responding to Climate Risks?

open access: yesKyklos, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Investors and policymakers increasingly worry that climate change threatens sovereign debt. While recent studies find a negative effect, they typically estimate models assuming a time‐invariant impact and rely on climate variables endogenous to economic and policy conditions.
