Atlantic water intrusion triggers rapid retreat and regime change at previously stable Greenland glacier

TR Chudley, IM Howat, MD King, A Negrete - Nature Communications, 2023 - nature.com
Ice discharge from Greenland's marine-terminating glaciers contributes to half of all mass
loss from the ice sheet, with numerous mechanisms proposed to explain their retreat. Here …

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 …

Relative roles of plume and coastal forcing on exchange flow variability of a glacial fjord

R Sanchez, F Straneo, K Hughes… - Journal of …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Glacial fjord circulation determines the import of oceanic heat to the Greenland Ice Sheet
