Programme for Monitoring of the Greenland Ice Sheet (PROMICE) automatic weather station data
. The Programme for Monitoring of the Greenland Ice Sheet (PROMICE) has been measuring climate and ice sheet properties since 2007. Currently, the PROMICE automatic weather station network includes 25 instrumented sites in Greenland.

Greenland Ice Sheet Ice Slab Expansion and Thickening
We use airborne accumulation radar data acquired over the Greenland Ice Sheet between 2002 and 2018 to identify changes in ice slab extent and thickness. We show that ice slabs several metres thick were already present at least as early as 2002. Between 2012 and 2018, they expanded 13,400-17,600 inland, or by 37-44%.

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

Ice dynamics will remain a primary driver of Greenland ice sheet mass loss over the next century
The mass loss of the Greenland Ice Sheet is nearly equally partitioned between a decrease in surface mass balance from enhanced surface melt and an increase in ice dynamics from the acceleration and retreat of its marine-terminating glaciers.

Coupled regional climate–ice-sheet simulation shows limited Greenland ice loss during the Eemian [PDF]
During the last interglacial period (Eemian, 130–115 kyr BP) eustatic global sea level likely peaked at > 6 m above the present-day level, but estimates of the contribution of the Greenland Ice Sheet vary widely.

An ice sheet model validation framework for the Greenland ice sheet [PDF]
Abstract. We propose a new ice sheet model validation framework – the Cryospheric Model Comparison Tool (CmCt) – that takes advantage of ice sheet altimetry and gravimetry observations collected over the past several decades and is applied here to modeling of the Greenland ice sheet.

Design and results of the ice sheet model initialisation initMIP-Greenland: an ISMIP6 intercomparison [PDF]
Earlier large-scale Greenland ice sheet sea-level projections (e.g. those run during the ice2sea and SeaRISE initiatives) have shown that ice sheet initial conditions have a large effect on the projections and give rise to important uncertainties. The

Brief communication "The aerophotogrammetric map of Greenland ice masses" [PDF]
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]
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

Eemian Greenland ice sheet simulated with a higher-order model shows strong sensitivity to surface mass balance forcing [PDF]
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.
