Significant uncertainty surrounds the influence of atmospheric and oceanic forcing on the fluctuations of tidewater glacier outlets of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS), with the majority of studies focussing on dynamics over the last two decades. Although numerical model based projections exist antici...
