Oceanic mechanical forcing of a marine-terminating Greenland glacier
Dynamics of marine-terminating major outlet glaciers are of high interest because of their potential for drawing down large areas of the Greenland ice sheet. We quantify short-term changes in ice flow speed and calving at a major West Greenland glacier and examine their relationship to the presence of the sea-ice melange and tidal stage. A field campaign at the terminus of Store Gletscher (70.4...
متن کاملResponse of a marine‐terminating Greenland outlet glacier to abrupt cooling 8200 and 9300 years ago
[1] Long‐term records of Greenland outlet‐glacier change extending beyond the satellite era can inform future predictions of Greenland Ice Sheet behavior. Of particular relevance is elucidating the Greenland Ice Sheet’s response to decadal‐ and centennial‐scale climate change. Here, we reconstruct the early Holocene history of Jakobshavn Isbræ, Greenland’s largest outlet glacier, using Be surfa...
متن کاملA Review of Recent Changes in Major Marine-Terminating Outlet Glaciers in Northern Greenland
Over the past two decades, mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) has accelerated and contributed to global sea level rise. This has been partly attributed to dynamic changes in marine terminating outlet glaciers. Outlet glaciers at the northern margin of the ice sheet drain 40% of its area but are comparatively less well-studied than elsewhere on the ice sheet (e.g., central-west or sou...
متن کاملInfluence of sea ice decline, atmospheric warming, and glacier width on marine-terminating outlet glacier behavior in northwest Greenland at seasonal to interannual timescales
Discharge from marine-terminating outlet glaciers represents a key component of the Greenland Ice Sheet mass budget and observations suggest that mass loss from northwest Greenland has recently accelerated. Despite this, the factors controlling outlet glacier dynamics within this region have been comparatively poorly studied. Here we use remotely sensed data to investigate the influence of atmo...
