Helheim Glacier ice velocity variability responds to runoff and terminus position change at different timescales

Factors driving ice flow variability in Greenland vary by timescale. At seasonal scale, Helheim Glacier ice velocity responds most strongly to meltwater runoff. Glacier terminus position drives velocity variability at longer time scales.
