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

Journal 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.

Darkening of the Greenland Ice Sheet: Fungal Abundance and Diversity Are Associated With Algal Bloom

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Recent studies have highlighted the importance of ice-algal blooms in driving darkening and therefore surface melt of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS).

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

Kyklos, 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.

A Greenland-wide empirical reconstruction of paleo ice sheet retreat informed by ice extent markers: PaleoGrIS version 1.0 [PDF]

Climate of the Past
The Greenland Ice Sheet is a large contributor to global sea level rise, and current mass losses are projected to accelerate. However, model projections of future ice sheet evolution are limited by the fact that the ice sheet is not in equilibrium with ...

Molecular Footprints of Quaternary Climate Fluctuations in the Circumpolar Tundra Shrub Dwarf Birch

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Arctic tundra biome is undergoing rapid shrub expansion (‘shrubification’) in response to anthropogenic climate change. During the previous ~2.6 million years, glacial cycles caused substantial shifts in Arctic vegetation, leading to changes in species' distributions, abundance and connectivity, which have left lasting impacts on the ...

Greenland ice sheet

, 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.

Chemical species spatial distribution and relationship to elevation and snow accumulation rate over the Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]

, 1996
Major chemical species (Cl−, NO−3, SO2−4, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+) from 24 snowpits (sampled at a resolution of 3 cm, total 2995 samples) collected from northern, central, and southern Greenland were used for this investigation.

A last glacial ice sheet on the Pacific Russian coast and catastrophic change arising from coupled ice–volcanic interaction [PDF]

, 2008
Controversy exists over the extent of glaciation in Eastern Asia at the Last Glacial Maximum: complete ice sheet cover vs. restricted mountain icefields (an area discrepancy equivalent to 3.7 Greenland Ice Sheets).

Clouds enhance Greenland ice sheet meltwater runoff

Nature Communications, 2016
Clouds play a pivotal role in the energy and mass balance of the Greenland ice sheet, thereby affecting its contribution to global sea-level rise. Here, using a combination of observations and model simulations, the authors show that clouds enhance ...

Greenland Ice Sheet solid ice discharge from 1986 through 2017

Earth 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 ...
