Centennial response of Greenland's three largest outlet glaciers
Abstract The Greenland Ice Sheet is the largest land ice contributor to sea level rise. This will
continue in the future but at an uncertain rate and observational estimates are limited to the …

Brief communication: Further summer speedup of Jakobshavn Isbræ
We have extended the record of flow speed on Jakobshavn Isbræ through the summer of
2013. These new data reveal large seasonal speedups, 30 to 50% greater than previous …

Inland thinning on the Greenland ice sheet controlled by outlet glacier geometry
Greenland's contribution to future sea-level rise remains uncertain and a wide range of
upper and lower bounds has been proposed. These predictions depend strongly on how …
