Cascading lake drainage on the Greenland Ice Sheet triggered by tensile shock and fracture

Nature Communications, 2018
Supraglacial lakes on the Greenland Ice Sheet are expanding inland, but the impact on ice flow is equivocal because interior surface conditions may preclude the transfer of surface water to the bed.

The impact of glacier geometry on meltwater plume structure and submarine melt in Greenland fjords [PDF]

, 2016
Meltwater from the Greenland Ice Sheet often drains subglacially into fjords, driving upwelling plumes at glacier termini. Ocean models and observations of submarine termini suggest that plumes enhance melt and undercutting, leading to calving and ...

Decreasing cloud cover drives the recent mass loss on the Greenland Ice Sheet

Science Advances, 2017
Reduction in summer cloud cover over the Greenland Ice Sheet is the main driver of recent melt. The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) has been losing mass at an accelerating rate since the mid-1990s.

A 110,000‐year history of change in continental biogenic emissions and related atmospheric circulation inferred from the Greenland Ice Sheet Project Ice Core [PDF]

, 1997
The 110,000‐year record of ammonium concentrations from the Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) ice core provides the basis for an analysis of terrestrial biological production and atmospheric circulation patterns involved in the transport of ...

The Northwestern Greenland Ice Sheet During The Early Pleistocene Was Similar To Today [PDF]

, 2019
The multi-million year history of the Greenland Ice Sheet remains poorly known. Ice-proximal glacial marine diamict provides a direct but discontinuous record of ice sheet behavior; it is underutilized as a climate archive.

Do Diatoms beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet Indicate Interglacials Warmer than Present? [PDF]

, 1986
Basal sediment debris from the Greenland ice sheet was examined with the hope of recovering microfossils that could be used to determine and date changes in ice sheet size through time.

The Greenland ice sheet: A global warming signal?

Weather, 2003
The Greenland ice sheet contains about a tenth of the world’s fresh water, and if it were to melt would cause a 7 m rise in global sea-level (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2001). The ice sheet covers 82% of the total area of Greenland (Ohmura et al. 1999).

Relative Sea-Level Changes and Ice Sheet History in Finderup Land, North Greenland

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018
Rising global sea level caused by melting ice sheets poses a major challenge in a persistently warming climate. The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is among the main contributors, and in order to make accurate predictions of future ice retreat and sea level ...

Development of a Climate-Data Record (CDR) of the Surface Temperature of the Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]

, 2010
Regional "clear sky" surface temperature increases since the early 1980s in the Arctic, measured using Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) infrared data, range from 0.57+/-0.02 deg C to 72+/-0.10 deg C per decade.
