Even if anthropogenic warming were constrained to less than 2° C above pre-industrial, the
Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets will continue to lose mass this century, with rates similar …

Surface processes currently dominate Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) mass loss. We review
recent developments in the observation and modeling of GrIS surface mass balance (SMB) …

This chapter assesses the state of physical, biological and social knowledge concerning the
Arctic and Antarctic ocean and cryosphere, how they are affected by climate change, and …

The Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flood Hazard Scenarios and Tools Interagency Task
Force, jointly convened by the US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) and the …

The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is a potentially unstable component of the Earth system and
may exhibit a critical transition under ongoing global warming. Mass reductions of the GrIS …

With the aim of studying the recent Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) surface mass balance (SMB)
decrease relative to the last century, we have forced the regional climate MAR (Modèle …

We evaluate modelled Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) near-surface climate, surface energy
balance (SEB) and surface mass balance (SMB) from the updated regional climate model …

Understanding the role of atmospheric circulation anomalies on the surface mass balance of
the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) is fundamental for improving estimates of its current and …

Global temperature is a fundamental climate metric highly correlated with sea level, which
implies that keeping shorelines near their present location requires keeping global …

The future surface mass balance (SMB) will influence the ice dynamics and the contribution
of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) to the sea level rise. Most of recent Antarctic SMB projections …
