Deriving a high-resolution record of Greenland glacier discharge
Mathematical and Physical Sciences: 3rd Place (The Ohio State University Edward F. Hayes Graduate Research Forum) Ice mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet is a major contributor to present-day sea level rise. Some of this mass is lost through the calving of ice from marine-terminating outlet glaci...
