Twenty-first century ocean forcing of the Greenland ice sheet for modelling of sea level contribution [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Changes in ocean temperature and salinity are expected to be an important determinant of the Greenland ice sheet's future sea level contribution. Yet, simulating the impact of these changes in continental-scale ice sheet models remains challenging due to

Overshooting the critical threshold for the Greenland ice sheet. [PDF]
Nature, 2023 Simulations using two state-of-the-art ice-sheet models show that abrupt melting of the Greenland ice sheet following overshooting of the global mean temperature critical threshold can be mitigated by subsequent cooling to below 1.5 °C.

East Greenland ice core dust record reveals timing of Greenland ice sheet advance and retreat
Nature Communications, 2019 Accurate measurements of the past extent of the Greenland ice sheet are crucial to understand its response to changing climate conditions. Here, the authors present a dust record from an ice core from the east coast of Greenland to provide detailed time ...

A first constraint on basal melt-water production of the Greenland ice sheet. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2021 The Greenland ice sheet has been one of the largest sources of sea-level rise since the early 2000s. However, basal melt has not been included explicitly in assessments of ice-sheet mass loss so far.

Mineral phosphorus drives glacier algal blooms on the Greenland Ice Sheet. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2021 Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is a leading cause of land-ice mass loss and cryosphere-attributed sea level rise. Blooms of pigmented glacier ice algae lower ice albedo and accelerate surface melting in the ice sheet’s southwest sector.

Increased variability in Greenland Ice Sheet runoff from satellite observations. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2021 Runoff from the Greenland Ice Sheet has increased over recent decades affecting global sea level, regional ocean circulation, and coastal marine ecosystems, and it now accounts for most of the contemporary mass imbalance.

The Influence of Hydrology on the Dynamics of Land-Terminating Sectors of the Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 Coupling between runoff, hydrology, basal motion, and mass loss (“hydrology-dynamics”) is a critical component of the Greenland Ice Sheet system. Despite considerable research effort, the mechanisms by which runoff influences ice dynamics and the net ...

ICE FLOW VELOCITY MAPPING IN GREENLAND USING HISTORICAL IMAGES FROM 1960s TO 1980s: SCHEME DESIGN [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2022 Ice flow velocity over long time series in Greenland plays a vital role in estimating and predicting the mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet and its contribution to global sea level rise.

Greenland ice sheet climate disequilibrium and committed sea-level rise
Nature Climate Change, 2022 Ice loss from the Greenland ice sheet is one of the largest sources of contemporary sea-level rise (SLR). While process-based models place timescales on Greenland’s deglaciation, their confidence is obscured by model shortcomings including imprecise ...
