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.

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 27-82., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Brief communication "The aerophotogrammetric map of Greenland ice masses" [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2013 The PROMICE (Programme for Monitoring of the Greenland Ice Sheet) aerophotogrammetric map of Greenland ice masses is the first high resolution dataset documenting the mid-1980s areal extent of the Greenland Ice Sheet and all the local glaciers and ice ...

The GRISLI-LSCE contribution to the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project for phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (ISMIP6) – Part 1: Projections of the Greenland ice sheet evolution by the end of the 21st century [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Polar amplification will result in amplified temperature changes in the Arctic with respect to the rest of the globe, making the Greenland ice sheet particularly vulnerable to global warming. While the ice sheet has been showing an increased mass loss in

Greenland Ice Sheet: Increased coastal thinning [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2004 Repeated laser‐altimeter surveys and modelled snowfall/summer melt show average ice loss from Greenland between 1997 and 2003 was 80 ± 12 km3 yr−1, compared to about 60 km3 yr−1 for 1993/4–1998/9. Half of the increase was from higher summer melting, with the rest caused by velocities of some glaciers exceeding those needed to balance upstream snow ...

Evidence of meltwater retention within the Greenland ice sheet [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2013 Greenland ice sheet mass losses have increased in recent decades with more than half of these attributed to surface meltwater runoff. However, the magnitudes of englacial storage, firn retention, internal refreezing and other hydrologic processes that ...

Eemian Greenland ice sheet simulated with a higher-order model shows strong sensitivity to surface mass balance forcing [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 The Greenland ice sheet contributes increasingly to global sea level rise. Its history during past warm intervals is a valuable reference for future sea level projections.

Exceptionally high heat flux needed to sustain the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 The Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) currently drains more than 10 % of the Greenland Ice Sheet area and has recently undergone significant dynamic changes.

Constraining GRACE-derived cryosphere-attributed signal to irregularly shaped ice-covered areas [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2013 We use a Monte Carlo approach to invert a spherical harmonic representation of cryosphere-attributed mass change in order to infer the most likely underlying mass changes within irregularly shaped ice-covered areas at nominal 26 km resolution.
