Algal growth and weathering crust state drive variability in western Greenland Ice Sheet ice albedo
One of the primary controls upon the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is albedo, a
measure of how much solar radiation that hits a surface is reflected without being absorbed …

[HTML][HTML] An evaluation of a physics-based firn model and a semi-empirical firn model across the Greenland Ice Sheet (1980–2020)
The Greenland Ice Sheet's (GrIS) firn layer buffers the ice sheet's contribution to sea level
rise by storing meltwater in its pore space. However, available pore space and meltwater …

Supraglacial river forcing of subglacial water storage and diurnal ice sheet motion
Surface melting impacts ice sheet sliding by supplying water to the bed, but subglacial
processes driving ice accelerations are complex. We examine linkages between surface …

Storage and export of microbial biomass across the western Greenland Ice Sheet
Abstract The Greenland Ice Sheet harbours a wealth of microbial life, yet the total biomass
stored or exported from its surface to downstream environments is unconstrained. Here, we …

Cosmic dust fertilization of glacial prebiotic chemistry on early Earth
Earth's surface is deficient in available forms of many elements considered limiting for
prebiotic chemistry. In contrast, many extraterrestrial rocky objects are rich in these same …
