Controls on ice dynamics of the Greenland ice sheet
In recent decades, the Greenland Ice Sheet has lost mass at an accelerating rate, such that it is now the largest individual cryospheric contributor to global sea level rise. This mass loss occurs as a combination of an increase in the melting of ice at the ice sheet surface as well as increased submarine melting and iceberg calving at marine ...

Controls on Fjord Temperature Throughout Greenland in a Reduced‐Physics Model
Abstract Greenland's fjords modulate exchanges between its outlet glaciers and the open ocean. Subglacial discharge and iceberg melt redistribute heat and salt in the fjord, modifying waters at glacier fronts and impacting glacier melt. Considering observations are sparse and general circulation models are computationally expensive, we use a reduced ...

Abstract A two‐phase recovery of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is revealed following the abrupt cessation of freshwater forcing (FWF) input at the end of the Younger Dryas in the TraCE‐21K‐II simulation. This staged AMOC reactivation is attributed to changes in sea surface salinity (SSS) pattern in the North Atlantic Ocean. The

Meltwater storage in low-density near-surface bare ice in the Greenland ice sheet ablation zone
. We document the density and hydrologic properties of bare, ablating ice in a mid-elevation (1215 m a.s.l.) supraglacial internally drained catchment in the Kangerlussuaq sector of the western Greenland ice sheet.

Abstract Fracture development weakens glacier ice, enabling more rapid flow and mass loss. Modeling this fracture evolution depends on a threshold parameter representing the strength of ice. However, the value of ice strength is treated as fixed in space and time despite evidence that it evolves with ice material properties.
