The sensitivity of the Antarctic ice sheet to a changing climate: Past, present, and future
Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is out of equilibrium with the current anthropogenic‐
enhanced climate forcing. Paleoenvironmental records and ice sheet models reveal that the …

Submarine melting of glaciers in Greenland amplified by atmospheric warming
Rapid ice loss from the Greenland ice sheet since 1992 is due in equal parts to increased
surface melting and accelerated ice flow. The latter is conventionally attributed to ocean …

Nordic Seas heat loss, Atlantic inflow, and Arctic sea ice cover over the last century
Poleward ocean heat transport is a key process in the earth system. We detail and review
the northward Atlantic Water (AW) flow, Arctic Ocean heat transport, and heat loss to the …

Interruption of two decades of Jakobshavn Isbrae acceleration and thinning as regional ocean cools
Jakobshavn Isbrae has been the single largest source of mass loss from the Greenland Ice
Sheet over the last 20 years. During that time, it has been retreating, accelerating and …

Twenty-first century ocean forcing of the Greenland ice sheet for modelling of sea level contribution
Abstract Changes in ocean temperature and salinity are expected to be an important
determinant of the Greenland ice sheet's future sea level contribution. Yet, simulating the …

Meltwater intrusions reveal mechanisms for rapid submarine melt at a tidewater glacier
Submarine melting has been implicated as a driver of glacier retreat and sea level rise, but
to date melting has been difficult to observe and quantify. As a result, melt rates have been …

Effect of near‐terminus subglacial hydrology on tidewater glacier submarine melt rates
Submarine melting of Greenlandic tidewater glacier termini is proposed as a possible
mechanism driving their recent thinning and retreat. We use a general circulation model …

The impact of glacier geometry on meltwater plume structure and submarine melt in Greenland fjords
Abstract Meltwater from the Greenland Ice Sheet often drains subglacially into fjords, driving
upwelling plumes at glacier termini. Ocean models and observations of submarine termini …
