[HTML][HTML] Fjords as aquatic critical zones (ACZs)

TS Bianchi, S Arndt, WEN Austin, DI Benn… - Earth-Science …, 2020 - Elsevier
In recent decades, the land-ocean aquatic continuum, commonly defined as the interface, or
transition zone, between terrestrial ecosystems and the open ocean, has undergone …

Cryoseismology

EA Podolskiy, F Walter - Reviews of geophysics, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
The last decade witnessed an explosion in yearly number of publications on passive glacier
seismology. The seismic signals from a wide range of glacier‐related processes fill a broad …

Interannual variations in meltwater input to the Southern Ocean from Antarctic ice shelves

S Adusumilli, HA Fricker, B Medley, L Padman… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Ocean-driven basal melting of Antarctica's floating ice shelves accounts for about half of
their mass loss in steady state, where gains in ice-shelf mass are balanced by losses. Ice …

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 …

Contribution of the Greenland Ice Sheet to sea level over the next millennium

A Aschwanden, MA Fahnestock, M Truffer… - Science …, 2019 - science.org
The Greenland Ice Sheet holds 7.2 m of sea level equivalent and in recent decades, rising
temperatures have led to accelerated mass loss. Current ice margin recession is led by the …

Calving rates at tidewater glaciers vary strongly with ocean temperature

A Luckman, DI Benn, F Cottier, S Bevan… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Rates of ice mass loss at the calving margins of tidewater glaciers (frontal ablation rates) are
a key uncertainty in sea level rise projections. Measurements are difficult because mass lost …

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 …

Where glaciers meet water: Subaqueous melt and its relevance to glaciers in various settings

M Truffer, RJ Motyka - Reviews of Geophysics, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Glacier change is ubiquitous, but the fastest and largest magnitude changes occur in
glaciers that terminate in water. This includes the most rapidly retreating glaciers, and also …

Seasonal to multiyear variability of glacier surface velocity, terminus position, and sea ice/ice mélange in northwest Greenland

T Moon, I Joughin, B Smith - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Glacier ice discharge, which depends on ice velocity and terminus fluctuations, is a primary
component of Greenland Ice Sheet mass loss. Some research suggests that ice mélange …

Distributed subglacial discharge drives significant submarine melt at a Greenland tidewater glacier

MJ Fried, GA Catania, TC Bartholomaus… - Geophysical …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Submarine melt can account for substantial mass loss at tidewater glacier termini. However,
the processes controlling submarine melt are poorly understood due to limited observations …
