Subglacial plumes
IJ Hewitt - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Buoyant plumes form when glacial ice melts directly into the ocean or when subglacial
meltwater is discharged to the ocean at depth. They play a key role in regulating heat …

Glacier calving in Greenland
In combination, the breakaway of icebergs (calving) and submarine melting at marine-
terminating glaciers account for between one third and one half of the mass annually …

Marine‐terminating glaciers sustain high productivity in Greenland fjords
Accelerated mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet leads to glacier retreat and an
increasing input of glacial meltwater to the fjords and coastal waters around Greenland …

Non-linear response of summertime marine productivity to increased meltwater discharge around Greenland
Abstract Runoff from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is thought to enhance marine
productivity by adding bioessential iron and silicic acid to coastal waters. However …

Tidewater glaciers and bedrock characteristics control the phytoplankton growth environment in a fjord in the Arctic
Meltwater discharge from tidewater glaciers impacts the adjacent marine environment. Due
to the global warming, tidewater glaciers are retreating and will eventually terminate on land …

[HTML][HTML] Impact of icebergs on the seasonal submarine melt of Sermeq Kujalleq
K Kajanto, F Straneo, K Nisancioglu - The Cryosphere, 2023 - tc.copernicus.org
The role of icebergs in narrow fjords hosting marine-terminating glaciers in Greenland is
poorly understood, even though iceberg melt results in a substantial freshwater flux that can …

Iceberg melting substantially modifies oceanic heat flux towards a major Greenlandic tidewater glacier
Fjord dynamics influence oceanic heat flux to the Greenland ice sheet. Submarine iceberg
melting releases large volumes of freshwater within Greenland's fjords, yet its impact on fjord …

Subglacial discharge‐driven renewal of tidewater glacier fjords
The classic model of fjord renewal is complicated by tidewater glacier fjords, where
submarine melt and subglacial discharge provide substantial buoyancy forcing at depth …

Near‐glacier surveying of a subglacial discharge plume: Implications for plume parameterizations
At tidewater glaciers, plume dynamics affect submarine melting, fjord circulation, and the
mixing of meltwater. Models often rely on buoyant plume theory to parameterize plumes and …

Surface emergence of glacial plumes determined by fjord stratification
Meltwater and sediment-laden plumes at tidewater glaciers, resulting from the localized
subglacial discharge of surface melt, influence submarine melting of the glacier and the …
