The Winds of Change: The effects of katabatic winds on fjord circulation, sea-ice export and glacier stability at Sermilik Fjord and Helheim Glacier
… of Greenland, can lead to large scale changes in fjord circulation, sea-ice export and glacier terminus stability, but despite this few studies have investigated their wider implications. In period of rapidly retreating tidewater glaciers, katabatic winds are known to aid retreat indirectly, …

Dynamics of Greenland’s glacial fjords
Glacial fjords form conduits between glaciers of the Greenland Ice Sheet and the North Atlantic. They are the gateways for importing oceanic heat to melt ice and for exporting meltwater into the ocean. Submarine melting in fjords has been implicated as a driver of recent glacier acceleration; …

Glacier-ocean interactions in shallow-silled fjords
Glacier-ocean interactions in shallow-silled fjords play a crucial role in the mass balance of marine-terminating glaciers and the transport of freshwater from the ice sheet to the ocean. Despite their importance, the complex dynamics of these systems, influenced by sill processes, freshwater …
