The impact of glaciers on mountain erosion
Glaciers and ice sheets erode mountains and produce vast quantities of sediments that are
delivered to rivers and oceans, impacting global sediment and biogeochemical balances …

Ice‐Dynamical Glacier Evolution Modeling—A Review
Glaciers play a crucial role in the Earth System: they are important water suppliers to lower‐
lying areas during hot and dry periods, and they are major contributors to the observed …

Contribution of the Greenland Ice Sheet to sea level over the next millennium
The Greenland Ice Sheet holds 7.2 m of sea level equivalent and in recent decades, rising
temperatures have led to accelerated mass loss. Current ice margin recession is led by the …

High mountain areas
The cryosphere (including, snow, glaciers, permafrost, lake and river ice) is an integral
element of high mountain regions, which are home to roughly 10% of the global population …

Future evolution of Greenland's marine‐terminating outlet glaciers
Mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) has increased over the last two decades in
response to changes in global climate, motivating the scientific community to question how …

Geometric controls on tidewater glacier retreat in central western Greenland
Glacier terminus changes are one of the hallmarks of worldwide glacier change, and thus,
there is significant focus on the controls and limits to retreat in the literature. Here we use the …
