Submarine melting of glaciers in Greenland amplified by atmospheric warming

DA Slater, F Straneo - Nature Geoscience, 2022 - nature.com
Rapid ice loss from the Greenland ice sheet since 1992 is due in equal parts to increased
surface melting and accelerated ice flow. The latter is conventionally attributed to ocean …

Geomorphology and 10Be chronology of the Last Glacial Maximum and deglaciation in northeastern Patagonia, 43 S-71 W

TPM Leger, AS Hein, RG Bingham, Á Rodés… - Quaternary Science …, 2021 - Elsevier
Abstract In southern South America, well-dated glacial geomorphological records constrain

Melting of glacier ice enhanced by bursting air bubbles

ME Wengrove, EC Pettit, JD Nash, RH Jackson… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Feedbacks between ice melt, glacier flow and ocean circulation can rapidly accelerate ice
loss at tidewater glaciers and alter projections of sea-level rise. At the core of these …

Future evolution of Greenland's marine‐terminating outlet glaciers

GA Catania, LA Stearns, TA Moon… - Journal of …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) has increased over the last two decades in
response to changes in global climate, motivating the scientific community to question how …

Laboratory experiments on ice melting: a need for understanding dynamics at the ice-water interface

AL McCutchan, BA Johnson - Journal of Marine Science and …, 2022 - mdpi.com
The ice-ocean interface is a dynamic zone characterized by the transfer of heat, salinity, and
energy. Complex thermodynamics and fluid dynamics drive fascinating physics as ice is …

Twenty-first century ocean forcing of the Greenland ice sheet for modelling of sea level contribution

DA Slater, D Felikson, F Straneo, H Goelzer… - The …, 2020 - tc.copernicus.org
Abstract Changes in ocean temperature and salinity are expected to be an important
determinant of the Greenland ice sheet's future sea level contribution. Yet, simulating the …

Subglacial discharge reflux and buoyancy forcing drive seasonality in a silled glacial fjord

AO Hager, DA Sutherland… - Journal of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Fjords are conduits for heat and mass exchange between tidewater glaciers and the coastal
ocean, and thus regulate near‐glacier water properties and submarine melting of glaciers …

[HTML][HTML] Impact of icebergs on the seasonal submarine melt of Sermeq Kujalleq

K Kajanto, F Straneo, K Nisancioglu - The Cryosphere, 2023 - tc.copernicus.org
The role of icebergs in narrow fjords hosting marine-terminating glaciers in Greenland is
poorly understood, even though iceberg melt results in a substantial freshwater flux that can …

The relationship between submarine melt and subglacial discharge from observations at a tidewater glacier

RH Jackson, RJ Motyka, JM Amundson… - Journal of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
At tidewater glacier termini, ocean‐glacier interactions hinge on two sources of freshwater—
submarine melt and subglacial discharge—yet these freshwater fluxes are often …
