Local glaciers and ice caps ( GIC s) comprise only ~5.4% of the total ice volume, but account for ~14–20% of the current ice loss in Greenland. The glacial history of GIC s is not well constrained, however, and little is known about how they reacted to Holocene climate changes. Specifically, in Nort...
