High export of dissolved silica from the Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]
, 2016 Silica is an essential element for marine life and plays a key role in the biogeochemistry of the ocean. Glacial activity stimulates rock weathering, generating dissolved silica that is exported to coastal areas along with meltwater. The magnitude of the

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.

The 1979-2005 Greenland ice sheet melt extent from passive microwave data using an improved version of the melt retrieval XPGR algorithm [PDF]
, 2007 Analysis of passive microwave satellite observations over the Greenland ice sheet reveals a significant increase in surface melt over the period 1979-2005. Since 1979, the total melt area was found to have increased +1.22 x 10ˆ7 kmˆ2.

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 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).
