Surface mass balance (SMB) provides mass input to the surface of the Antarctic and
Greenland Ice Sheets and therefore comprises an important control on ice sheet mass …

Glaciers and Glaciation is the classic textbook for all students of glaciation. Stimulating and
accessible, it has established a reputation as a comprehensive and essential resource. In …

We present a new Lagrangian diagnostic for identifying the sources of water vapor for
precipitation. Unlike previous studies, the method allows for a quantitative demarcation of …

The authors attribute significantly increased Greenland summer warmth and Greenland Ice
Sheet melt and runoff since 1990 to global warming. Southern Greenland coastal and …

Previous studies in Greenland show that retreat of tidewater glaciers may be linked to recent
increases in ice loss, raising Greenland's contribution to sea level rise. We examined ice …

The response of the Greenland ice sheet to ongoing climate change remains an area of
great uncertainty, with most previous studies having concentrated on the contribution of the …

Results from a 28-year simulation (1979–2006) over the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) reveal
an increase of solid precipitation (+ 0.4±2.5 km 3 yr− 2) and run-off (+ 7.9±3.3 km 3 yr− 2) of …

Abstract The “Panama Hypothesis” states that the gradual closure of the Panama Seaway,
between 13 million years ago (13 Ma) and 2.6 Ma, led to decreased mixing of Atlantic and …

Meteorological models were used to retrieve annual accumulation, runoff, and surface mass
balance on a 5 km× 5 km grid for the Greenland ice sheet for 1958–2003. We present the …

Synchronous acceleration and thinning of southeast (SE) Greenland glaciers during the
early 2000s was the main contributor that resulted in the doubling of annual discharge from …
