The 1979-2005 Greenland ice sheet melt extent from passive microwave data using an improved version of the melt retrieval XPGR algorithm [PDF]
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.

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

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

Potential of Ka‐Band Range Rate Post‐Fit Residuals for High‐Frequency Mass Change Applications
Abstract We present the first extensive analysis of K/Ka‐band ranging post‐fit residuals of an official Level‐2 product, characterized as Line‐of‐Sight Gravity Differences (LGD), which exhibit and showcase interesting sub‐monthly geophysical signals.

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

Abstract Greenland's glacial fjords serve as pathways for the transport of heat and freshwater between the continental shelf and the outlet glaciers of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Despite increasing attention from the research community, seasonal studies in Greenland fjords remain scarce. This is especially true for near‐surface measurements.

Abstract Three blue‐ice areas in the upper reaches of Rennick Glacier, East Antarctica, are investigated using satellite remote sensing to assess the influence of meso‐ to large‐scale glaciological structures on cryoconite hole distributions. In total, 15,299 cryoconite holes and 1 600 structures were geospatially analyzed, which indicate that ...

Abstract Rapidly melting Arctic glaciers deliver increasing amounts of allochthonous material to the coastal ocean, altering carbon cycling and promoting heterotrophy. As key factors influencing the activity of heterotrophic microbes, the quantity and quality of Arctic coastal organic carbon warrant closer examination.
