Global warming has led to significant increases in melt rates of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) and runoff since the beginning of 1990, and the GrIS is expected to be a major contributor to global sea level rise in the coming decades. Recent warming has resulted in longer summers and greater runoff...
