Economics of the disintegration of the Greenland ice sheet. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2019 Significance This study integrates an economic model of climate change with a small structural model of the Greenland ice sheet (GIS). As such, it provides a methodology for incorporating large earth system changes into standard economic cost–benefit or ...

Possibility of Stabilizing the Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]
Earth's Future, 2021 Recent acceleration in the retreat of the Greenland ice sheet under a warming climate has caused unprecedented challenges and threats to coastal communities due to the rising sea level and increasing storm surges.

Evidence of local and regional freshening of Northeast Greenland coastal waters [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 The supply of freshwater to fjord systems in Greenland is increasing as a result of climate change-induced acceleration in ice sheet melt. However, insight into the marine implications of the melt water is impaired by lack of observations demonstrating ...

Greenland Ice Sheet - Higher non-linearity of ice flow significantly reduces estimated basal motion [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 In times of warming in polar regions, the prediction of ice sheet discharge is of utmost importance to society, because of its impact on sea level rise. In simulations the flow rate of ice is usually implemented as proportional to the differential stress

Greenland Ice Sheet surface melt amplified by snowline migration and bare ice exposure. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2019 Greenland’s snowline exhibits large fluctuations and is a primary amplifier of ice sheet surface melt and runoff. Greenland Ice Sheet mass loss has recently increased because of enhanced surface melt and runoff.

Quantification of the Greenland ice sheet contribution to Last Interglacial sea level rise [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2013 During the Last Interglacial period (~ 130–115 thousand years ago) the Arctic climate was warmer than today, and global mean sea level was probably more than 6.6 m higher.

Seasonal to decadal variability in ice discharge from the Greenland Ice Sheet. [PDF]
Cryosphere, 2018 Rapid changes in thickness and velocity have been observed at many marine-terminating glaciers in Greenland, impacting the volume of ice they export, or discharge, from the ice sheet.

Darkening of the Greenland Ice Sheet: Fungal Abundance and Diversity Are Associated With Algal Bloom. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2019 Recent studies have highlighted the importance of ice-algal blooms in driving darkening and therefore surface melt of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS).
