[HTML][HTML] Return to rapid ice loss in Greenland and record loss in 2019 detected by the GRACE-FO satellites

I Sasgen, B Wouters, AS Gardner, MD King… - … Earth & Environment, 2020 - nature.com
Abstract Between 2003-2016, the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) was one of the largest
contributors to sea level rise, as it lost about 255 Gt of ice per year. This mass loss slowed in …

Ice melt, sea level rise and superstorms: evidence from paleoclimate data, climate modeling, and modern observations that 2 C global warming could be dangerous

J Hansen, M Sato, P Hearty, R Ruedy… - Atmospheric …, 2016 - acp.copernicus.org
We use numerical climate simulations, paleoclimate data, and modern observations to study
the effect of growing ice melt from Antarctica and Greenland. Meltwater tends to stabilize the …

On the recent contribution of the Greenland ice sheet to sea level change

MR Van den Broeke, EM Enderlin, IM Howat… - The …, 2016 - tc.copernicus.org
