Recent advances in our understanding of the role of meltwater in the Greenland Ice Sheet system
Abstract Purpose of the Review This review discusses the role that meltwater plays within
the Greenland ice sheet system. The ice sheet's hydrology is important because it affects …

Short-and long-term variability of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets
The variability of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets occurs on various timescales and is
important for projections of sea level rise; however, there are substantial uncertainties …

Greenland subglacial drainage evolution regulated by weakly connected regions of the bed
Penetration of surface meltwater to the bed of the Greenland Ice Sheet each summer causes
an initial increase in ice speed due to elevated basal water pressure, followed by slowdown …

Glacier-surge mechanisms promoted by a hydro-thermodynamic feedback to summer melt
Mass loss from glaciers and ice sheets currently accounts for two-thirds of the observed
global sea-level rise and has accelerated since the 1990s, coincident with strong …

Climatic control on seasonal variations in mountain glacier surface velocity
Accurate measurements of ice flow are essential to predict future changes in glaciers and
ice caps. Glacier displacement can in principle be measured on the large scale by cross …

Ice-penetrating radar,, and ice core drilling have shown that large parts of the north-central
Greenland ice sheet are melting from below. It has been argued that basal ice melt is due to …

The influence of hydrology on the dynamics of land-terminating sectors of the Greenland ice sheet
Coupling between runoff, hydrology, basal motion, and mass loss (“hydrology-dynamics”) is
a critical component of the Greenland Ice Sheet system. Despite considerable research …

Pan-Greenland mapping of supraglacial rivers, lakes, and water-filled crevasses in a cool summer (2018) and a warm summer (2019)
The spatiotemporal distribution and variability of surface water remained poorly known at the
pan-Greenland scale, and its dominant features (supraglacial rivers, lakes, and water-filled …

Assessment of the Greenland ice sheet–atmosphere feedbacks for the next century with a regional atmospheric model coupled to an ice sheet model
In the context of global warming, growing attention is paid to the evolution of the Greenland
ice sheet (GrIS) and its contribution to sea-level rise at the centennial timescale. Atmosphere …

Supraglacial lake drainage events influence Greenland Ice Sheet dynamics on hourly to
interannual timescales. However, direct observations are rare, and, to date, no in situ studies …
