Ice velocity and thickness of the world's glaciers
The effect of climate change on water resources and sea-level rise is largely determined by
the size of the ice reservoirs around the world and the ice thickness distribution, which …

Greenland ice sheet climate disequilibrium and committed sea-level rise
Ice loss from the Greenland ice sheet is one of the largest sources of contemporary sea-level
rise (SLR). While process-based models place timescales on Greenland's deglaciation, their …

Deep glacial troughs and stabilizing ridges unveiled beneath the margins of the Antarctic ice sheet
The Antarctic ice sheet has been losing mass over past decades through the accelerated
flow of its glaciers, conditioned by ocean temperature and bed topography. Glaciers …

Mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet from 1992 to 2018
Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Abstract The Greenland Ice Sheet has been a major contributor to global sea-level rise in
