Accelerating changes in ice mass within Greenland, and the ice sheet’s sensitivity to atmospheric forcing
peer reviewed The recent deglaciation of Greenland is a response to both oceanic and atmospheric forcings. From 2000 to 2010, ice loss was concentrated in the southeast and northwest margins of the ice sheet, in large part due to the increasing discharge of marine-terminating outlet glaciers, emphas...
