The evolution of the Patagonian Ice Sheet from 35 ka to the present day (PATICE)
Earth-Science Reviews, 2020 We present PATICE, a GIS database of Patagonian glacial geomorphology and recalibrated chronostratigraphic data. PATICE includes 58,823 landforms and 1,669 ages, and extends from 38°S to 55°S in southern South America.

The microbiome of glaciers and ice sheets [PDF]
npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2017 AbstractGlaciers and ice sheets, like other biomes, occupy a significant area of the planet and harbour biological communities with distinct interactions and feedbacks with their physical and chemical environment. In the case of the glacial biome, the biological processes are dominated almost exclusively by microbial communities.

Mineral phosphorus drives glacier algal blooms on the Greenland Ice Sheet
Nature Communications, 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.

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.

Deglaciation of Fennoscandia [PDF]
, 2015 To provide a new reconstruction of the deglaciation of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet, in the form of calendar-year time-slices, which are particularly useful for ice sheet modelling, we have compiled and synthesized published geomorphological data for ...

Dynamic ice loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet driven by sustained glacier retreat
Communications Earth & Environment, 2020 The Greenland Ice Sheet is losing mass at accelerated rates in the 21st century, making it the largest single contributor to rising sea levels. Faster flow of outlet glaciers has substantially contributed to this loss, with the cause of speedup, and ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 On April 7, 2016 the Nansen ice shelf (NIS) front calved into two icebergs, the first large-scale calving event in >30 years. Three hydrophone moorings were deployed seaward of the NIS in December 2015 and over the following months recorded hundreds ...

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]
The Cryosphere, 2021 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

An assessment of key model parametric uncertainties in projections of Greenland Ice Sheet behavior [PDF]
, 2012 Lack of knowledge about the values of ice sheet model input parameters introduces substantial uncertainty into projections of Greenland Ice Sheet contributions to future sea level rise.
