Melting at the base of the Greenland ice sheet explained by Iceland hotspot history
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 glacial systems model (GSM) Version 24G
L Tarasov, BS Lecavalier, K Hank… - Geoscientific Model …, 2025 - gmd.copernicus.org
We document the glacial system model (GSM), which includes a 3D thermo-mechanically

Estimating Greenland surface melt is hampered by melt induced dampening of temperature variability
The positive degree-day (PDD) model provides a particularly simple approach to estimate
surface melt from land ice based solely on air temperature. Here, we use a climate and snow …
