Subglacial plumes

IJ Hewitt - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Buoyant plumes form when glacial ice melts directly into the ocean or when subglacial
meltwater is discharged to the ocean at depth. They play a key role in regulating heat …

A synthesis of thermodynamic ablation at ice–ocean interfaces from theory, observations and models

A Malyarenko, AJ Wells, PJ Langhorne, NJ Robinson… - Ocean Modelling, 2020 - Elsevier
Thermodynamic ablation of ice in contact with the ocean is an essential element of ice sheet

Submarine melting of glaciers in Greenland amplified by atmospheric warming

DA Slater, F Straneo - Nature Geoscience, 2022 - nature.com
Rapid ice loss from the Greenland ice sheet since 1992 is due in equal parts to increased
surface melting and accelerated ice flow. The latter is conventionally attributed to ocean …

Limited measurements along Greenland's remote coastline hamper quantification of the
sediment and associated nutrients draining the Greenland ice sheet, despite the potential …

Impact of subglacial freshwater discharge on Pine Island Ice Shelf

Y Nakayama, C Cai, H Seroussi - Geophysical research letters, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Satellite‐based estimates of ice shelf melt rates reach 200 m close to the grounding line of
