Greenland’s main outlet glaciers have more than doubled their contribution to global sea‐level rise over the past decade through acceleration of ice discharge. Jakobshavn Isbræ (JI) in west Greenland is the largest outlet glacier in terms of drainage area. Here we use a 3-D modeling approach to stud...
