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 ...

Ice sheet model dependency of the simulated Greenland Ice Sheet in the mid-Pliocene [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2015 The understanding of the nature and behavior of ice sheets in past warm periods is important for constraining the potential impacts of future climate change.

How warm was Greenland during the last interglacial period? [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2016 The last interglacial period (LIG, ∼ 129–116 thousand years ago) provides the most recent case study of multimillennial polar warming above the preindustrial level and a response of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets to this warming, as well as a ...

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.

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.

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 Nonlinearity 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

Sliding dominates slow-flowing margin regions, Greenland Ice Sheet. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2019 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 ...

Ice algal bloom development on the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2018 It is fundamental to understand the development of Zygnematophycean (Streptophyte) micro‐algal blooms within Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) supraglacial environments, given their potential to significantly impact both physical (melt) and chemical (carbon and
