Greenland ice sheet hydrology: A review

VW Chu - Progress in Physical Geography, 2014 - journals.sagepub.com
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 …

An automated, generalized, deep-learning-based method for delineating the calving fronts of Greenland glaciers from multi-sensor remote sensing imagery

E Zhang, L Liu, L Huang, KS Ng - Remote Sensing of Environment, 2021 - Elsevier
In the past two decades, the data volume of remote sensing imagery in the polar regions has

Seasonal to multiyear variability of glacier surface velocity, terminus position, and sea ice/ice mélange in northwest Greenland

T Moon, I Joughin, B Smith - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Glacier ice discharge, which depends on ice velocity and terminus fluctuations, is a primary
component of Greenland Ice Sheet mass loss. Some research suggests that ice mélange …
