The future of Narsap Sermia: Documenting the retreat of a tidewater glacier in Southwest Greenland
The behaviour of Greenland’s tidewater glaciers is crucial for the understanding of the Greenland Ice Sheet. The retreat of those marine-terminating glaciers has far-reaching implications, impacting not only the regional hydrography but also the diverse fjord ecosystems. Here, this study …

Inferring subglacial hydrology from investigations of supraglacial lake drainages and meltwater plumes at Store Glacier, West Greenland
… ice loss comes from dynamic ice loss from tidewater glaciers. Tidewater glaciers each have unique subglacial drainage systems and discharge meltwater into adjacent fjords differently. However, studies of the subglacial hydrology of individual tidewater glaciers have been limited, largely …

Connect Store: A fully coupled 3D model of ice flow, calving, subglacial hydrology and ice-ocean interactions applied to Store Glacier, Greenland
… system at Store Glacier, a large, fast-flowing tidewater outlet glacier on the west coast of Greenland. Understanding these large outlet glaciers is critical to being able to accurately predict the future evolution of the Greenland Ice Sheet. This study therefore …

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 …

GEOPHYSICAL INVESTIGATION OF GLACIER GEOMETRY AND SUBGLACIAL GEOLOGY, AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON GLACIER DYNAMICS: CASE STUDIES OF TAKU GLACIER, ALASKA AND THWAITES GLACIER, WEST ANTARCTICA
Mass loss from glaciers and ice sheets is a significant contributor to the rise of global mean sea level (GMSL) and will continue to be in the future. Rising GMSL will cause displacement of coastal populations, loss of ecosystems and rising food in- security. To plan for and mitigate these impacts, …
