Supraglacial meltwater channels that flow on the surfaces of glaciers, ice sheets, and ice
shelves connect ice surface climatology with subglacial processes, ice dynamics, and …

At high elevations of ice sheets, melting snow generally percolates and refreezes, so does
not contribute to the shrinking of the ice sheet. Here, we systematically map the runoff area …

Meltwater runoff from the Greenland ice sheet surface influences surface mass balance
(SMB), ice dynamics, and global sea level rise, but is estimated with climate models and …

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 …

We document the density and hydrologic properties of bare, ablating ice in a mid-elevation
(1215 m asl) supraglacial internally drained catchment in the Kangerlussuaq sector of the …

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 …

Surface runoff constitutes a large percentage of Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) mass loss at
present but is difficult to measure directly. This study provides a novel method to estimate …

Supraglacial rivers set efficacy and time lags by which surface meltwater is routed to the
englacial, subglacial, and proglacial portions of ice masses. However, these hydrologic …

Supraglacial lakes and rivers dominate the storage and transport of meltwater on the
southwest Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) surface. Despite functioning as interconnected …

Large volumes of surface meltwater are routed through supraglacial internally drained
catchments (IDCs) on the Greenland Ice Sheet surface each summer. Because surface …
