ICE CORES | Dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet

2007
The Greenland ice sheet is the largest ice sheet in the Northern Hemisphere. It plays an important role in climate research because of its location in the North Atlantic, which is a region thought to play a key role in climate changes on Earth. Because snow accumulation rates in the central areas have been sufficiently high, annual layers may be ...

The Ice Sheets of Greenland and Antarctica

1984
In the preceding chapters we have extensively discussed the theory of ice flow, thermodynamics of ice sheets, numerical modelling, and in general terms the interaction of ice sheets and climate. This should be the proper background to have a closer look now at the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica, being the only presently existing large ice ...

Greenland ice sheet hydrology [PDF]

Progress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment, 2013
Understanding Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) hydrology is essential for evaluating response of ice dynamics to a warming climate and future contributions to global sea level rise. Recently observed increases in temperature and melt extent over the GrIS have prompted numerous remote sensing, modeling, and field studies gauging the response of the ice sheet

Greenland ice sheet mass balance: a review

Reports on Progress in Physics, 2015
Over the past quarter of a century the Arctic has warmed more than any other region on Earth, causing a profound impact on the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) and its contribution to the rise in global sea level. The loss of ice can be partitioned into processes related to surface mass balance and to ice discharge, which are forced by internal or external ...
