The Greenland ice sheet: A global warming signal?
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).

A summer time series of particulate carbon in the air and snow at Summit, Greenland [PDF]
Carbonaceous particulate matter is ubiquitous in the lower atmosphere, produced by natural and anthropogenic sources and transported to distant regions, including the pristine and climate-sensitive Greenland Ice Sheet.

Greenland Ice Sheet solid ice discharge from 1986 through 2017
. 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 ...

Marine Cloud Brightening to Cool the Arctic: An Earth System Model Comparison
Abstract Marine cloud brightening (MCB) via sea‐salt aerosol (SSA) injections is one commonly researched method to cool the Earth either regionally or globally, and potentially reduce impacts of global warming. There is evidence from both high‐resolution climate modeling and natural analogs that the introduction of aerosols in the Arctic atmosphere ...

Self‐inhibiting growth of the Greenland Ice Sheet
The build‐up of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) from ice‐free conditions is studied in an ice sheet model (ISM) driven by fields from an atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) to demonstrate the importance of coupling between the two components.

Impact of model physics on estimating the surface mass balance of the Greenland ice sheet [PDF]
Long-term predictions of sea level rise from increased Greenland ice sheet melting have been derived using Positive Degree Day models only. It is, however, unknown precisely what uncertainties are associated with applying this simple surface melt ...

Sliding dominates slow-flowing margin regions, Greenland Ice Sheet
We measure sliding-dominated plug flow over a hard bed during winter and show that this flow style is typical of margins in Greenland. On the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS), ice flow due to deformation and sliding across the bed delivers ice to lower ...

Response of Tipping Elements to Different Strategies of Stratospheric Aerosol Injection
Abstract Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) has been proposed as a complementary option to mitigate anthropogenic climate change risks. Using Community Earth System Model ensemble simulations, we assess the response of climate metrics relevant to a set of climate tipping elements in SAI scenarios targeting different temperature stabilization goals ...
