Effects of extreme melt events on ice flow and sea level rise of the Greenland Ice Sheet

The Cryosphere, 2023
. Over the past decade, Greenland has experienced several extreme melt events, the most pronounced ones in the years 2010, 2012 and 2019. With progressing climate change, such extreme melt events can be expected to occur more frequently and potentially ...

Upper ocean warming and sea ice reduction in the East Greenland Current from 2003 to 2019

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
The sea ice extent and sea ice thickness in the Arctic Ocean have declined consistently in the last decades. The loss of sea ice as well as warmer inflowing Atlantic Water have major consequences for the Arctic Ocean heat content and the watermasses ...

Decline of sea-ice in the Greenland Sea intensifies extreme precipitation over Svalbard

Weather and Climate Extremes, 2021
Extreme precipitation over the Svalbard Archipelago in the Arctic can have severe consequences for the ecosystem and society. In recent years several extreme precipitation events have been observed at Ny Ålesund, a weather station in the north-western ...

Combined influence of oceanic and atmospheric circulations on Greenland sea ice concentration

The Cryosphere, 2021
. The amount and spatial extent of Greenland Sea (GS) ice are primarily controlled by the sea ice export across the Fram Strait (FS) and by local seasonal sea ice formation, melting, and sea ice dynamics.

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 ...

A detection of the sea level fingerprint of Greenland Ice Sheet melt

Science, 2022
Rapid melting of ice sheets and glaciers drives a unique geometry, or fingerprint, of sea level change. However, the detection of individual fingerprints has been challenging because of sparse observations at high latitudes and the difficulty of ...

Future Sea Level Change Under Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 and Phase 6 Scenarios From the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
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.

Influence of Arctic sea-ice loss on the Greenland ice sheet climate

Climate Dynamics, 2021
The Arctic is the region on Earth that is warming the fastest. At the same time, Arctic sea ice is reducing while the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) is losing mass at an accelerated pace.

The future sea-level contribution of the Greenland ice sheet: a multi-model ensemble study of ISMIP6

The Cryosphere, 2020
. The Greenland ice sheet is one of the largest contributors to global mean sea-level rise today and is expected to continue to lose mass as the Arctic continues to warm.

Twenty-first century ocean forcing of the Greenland ice sheet for modelling of sea level contribution

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 ...
