Mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet from 1992 to 2018
Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Abstract The Greenland Ice Sheet has been a major contributor to global sea-level rise in
recent decades,, and it is expected to continue to be so. Although increases in glacier flow …

Widespread seawater intrusions beneath the grounded ice of Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica
Warm water from the Southern Ocean has a dominant impact on the evolution of Antarctic
glaciers and in turn on their contribution to sea level rise. Using a continuous time series of …

Mass balance of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets from 1992 to 2020
Ice losses from the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets have accelerated since the 1990s,
accounting for a significant increase in global mean sea level. Here, we present a new 29 …

Mass balance of the Antarctic Ice Sheet from 1992 to 2017
Nature, 2018 - nature.com
Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet is an important indicator of climate change and driver of sea-
level rise. Here we combine satellite observations of its changing volume, flow and …

Modelling the climate and surface mass balance of polar ice sheets using RACMO2–Part 2: Antarctica (1979–2016)
We evaluate modelled Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) near-surface climate, surface mass balance
(SMB) and surface energy balance (SEB) from the updated polar version of the regional …

Volume loss from Antarctic ice shelves is accelerating
The floating ice shelves surrounding the Antarctic Ice Sheet restrain the grounded ice-sheet
flow. Thinning of an ice shelf reduces this effect, leading to an increase in ice discharge to …

Bedmap2: improved ice bed, surface and thickness datasets for Antarctica
We present Bedmap2, a new suite of gridded products describing surface elevation, ice-
thickness and the seafloor and subglacial bed elevation of the Antarctic south of 60° S. We …

Widespread, rapid grounding line retreat of Pine Island, Thwaites, Smith, and Kohler glaciers, West Antarctica, from 1992 to 2011
We measure the grounding line retreat of glaciers draining the Amundsen Sea sector of
