Iceberg melting substantially modifies oceanic heat flux towards a major Greenlandic tidewater glacier

BJ Davison, TR Cowton, FR Cottier, AJ Sole - Nature communications, 2020 - nature.com
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 …

Elastic deformation plays a non-negligible role in Greenland's outlet glacier flow
