On the Consistency of Thermal Events in the East Greenland/West Greenland Current System and off Labrador

Based on conductivity, temperature, depth (CTD) measurements with rosette mounted bottle performed along standard oceanographic sections off Greenland, the consistency of thermal events was analyzed. High consistency of events was found for the sections off Southeast Greenland and West Greenland, low consistency was revealed for the northernmost section off East Greenland and the West Greenland...

Glacier, fjord, and seismic response to recent large calving events, Jakobshavn Isbræ, Greenland

[1] The recent loss of Jakobshavn Isbræ’s extensive floating ice tongue has been accompanied by a change in near terminus behavior. Calving currently occurs primarily in summer from a grounded terminus, involves the detachment and overturning of several icebergs within 30–60 min, and produces long-lasting and far-reaching ocean waves and seismic signals, including ‘‘glacial earthquakes’’. Calvi...

Rapid retreat and acceleration of Helheim Glacier, east Greenland

[1] A significant amount of the measured coastal thinning of the Greenland ice sheet may be due to recent acceleration of outlet glaciers. Using remote sensing, we measured two major periods of speedup on Helheim Glacier between 2000 and 2005 that increased peak speeds from approximately 8 to 11 km/yr. These speedups coincided with rapid retreats of the calving front, totaling over 7.5 km. The ...
