The largest uncertainty in future sea-level rise is loss of ice from the Greenland and Antarctic
Ice Sheets. Ice shelves, freely floating platforms of ice that fringe the ice sheets, play a …

Using a variety of optical satellite scenes, this study quantifies the change in the areal extent
of 1773 glaciers across Northern Ellesmere Island between~ 1999 and~ 2015. Our results …

The ice shelves along the northern coast of Ellesmere Island have been in a state of decline
since at least the early twentieth century. Available data derived from explorers' journals …

A total of eight floating glacier tongues have shrunk in area by> 85% from the Yelverton Bay
region of Northern Ellesmere Island since 1959, with unusually large losses since 2005. To …

The Ellesmere ice shelves are located on the northernmost edge of Canada, the northwest
coast of Ellesmere Island, facing the perennial pack ice of the Arctic Ocean. They are the …

A review of historical literature and remote sensing imagery indicates that the ice shelves of
northern Ellesmere Island have undergone losses during the 1930s/1940s to 1960s, and …

Changes in the depth of the freshwater–seawater interface in epishelf lakes have been used
to infer long-term changes in the minimum thickness of ice shelves; however, little is known …

This chapter chronicles the mass balance and thickness of the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf and
Ward Hunt Ice Rise, Ellesmere Island, Canada (1952–2008). The surface mass balance of …

For most of the twentieth century, multiyear landfast sea ice (MLSI) existed in semi-
permanent plugs across Nansen Sound and Sverdrup Channel in the northern Queen …

Arctic ice shelves have declined over the past several decades, one of many indications of a
rapidly changing cryosphere. Here we use a collection of off-nadir Landsat 8 images, a 1978 …
