Heterogeneous impacts of ocean thermal forcing on ice discharge from Greenland's peripheral tidewater glaciers over 2000–2021

M Möller, B Recinos, P Rastner, B Marzeion - Scientific Reports, 2024 - nature.com
Abstract The Greenland Ice Sheet is losing mass at increasing rates. Substantial amounts of
this mass loss occur by ice discharge which is influenced by ocean thermal forcing. The ice …
