Projections of the sea level contribution from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets (GrIS and AIS) rely on atmospheric and oceanic drivers obtained from climate models.

Subglacial lake drainage detected beneath the Greenland ice sheet [PDF]
The contribution of the Greenland ice sheet to sea-level rise has accelerated in recent decades. Subglacial lake drainage events can induce an ice sheet dynamic response—a process that has been observed in Antarctica, but not yet in Greenland, where the ...

Quantification of the Greenland ice sheet contribution to Last Interglacial sea level rise [PDF]
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.

The Greenland-Ice-Sheet evolution over the last 24 000 years: insights from model simulations evaluated against ice-extent markers [PDF]
Continental ice sheets retain a long-term memory stored in their geometry and thermal properties. In Greenland, this creates a disequilibrium with the present climate, as the ice sheet is still adjusting to past changes that occurred over millennial ...

Changes in the Greenland Ice Sheet of the Southeastern Maniitsoq Coast from 1994-2004 and 2009-2019 [PDF]
Remote sensing mechanisms through the use of technology like the Landsat 5-7 Land Manager satellites are commonly used in conjunction with multispectral methods such as unsupervised classification to record and analyze changes in snow and ice over time ...

Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

NorthGreen: unlocking records from sea to land in Northeast Greenland [PDF]
The increasing anthropogenic CO2 forcing of the climate system calls for a better understanding of how polar ice sheets may respond to accelerating global warming.

Greenland ice sheet contribution to sea level rise during the last interglacial period: a modelling study driven and constrained by ice core data [PDF]
As pointed out by the forth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC-AR4 (Meehl et al., 2007), the contribution of the two major ice sheets, Antarctica and Greenland, to global sea level rise, is a subject of key ...

Million years of Greenland Ice Sheet history recorded in ocean sediments [PDF]
Geological records from Tertiary and Quaternary terrestrial and oceanic sections have documented the presence of ice caps and sea ice covers both in the Southern and the Northern hemispheres since Eocene times, approximately since 45 Ma.

A North Greenland‐wide in situ cosmogenic 14C ice sheet chronology since the Lateglacial
Knowledge of the glacial history of the North Greenland Ice Sheet is crucial due to its high sensitivity to climate change. However, because the ice sheet in this region is predominantly cold‐based, resulting in low erosion rates, using 10Be exposure dating to establish reliable ice sheet chronologies has proven very challenging due to nuclide ...
