terminating glaciers account for between one third and one half of the mass annually …

A review of recent changes in major marine-terminating outlet glaciers in Northern Greenland

EA Hill, JR Carr, CR Stokes - Frontiers in Earth Science, 2017 - frontiersin.org
Over the past two decades, mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) has accelerated
and contributed to global sea level rise. This has been partly attributed to dynamic changes …

GA Catania, LA Stearns, TA Moon… - Journal of …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) has increased over the last two decades in
response to changes in global climate, motivating the scientific community to question how …

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

Geometric controls on tidewater glacier retreat in central western Greenland

GA Catania, LA Stearns, DA Sutherland… - Journal of …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Glacier terminus changes are one of the hallmarks of worldwide glacier change, and thus,
there is significant focus on the controls and limits to retreat in the literature. Here we use the …
