Collaborative Research: Disentangling runoff- and Terminus-driven Velocity Variations of F — NSF Award to Morgan State University
Ice loss from the polar ice sheets is the largest anticipated contribution to global mean-sea-level rise in the coming century. A fundamental control on the rate of ice loss is how fast ice flows from ice sheet interiors out to the edges. In the interior of the Greenland Ice Sheet, ice flow responds to liquid water (“r

| Abstract | Ice loss from the polar ice sheets is the largest anticipated contribution to global mean-sea-level rise in the coming century. A fundamental control on the rate of ice loss is how fast ice flows from ice sheet interiors out to the edges. In the interior of the Greenland Ice Sheet, ice flow responds to liquid water (“runoff") input, which affects how the ice slides over the bedrock beneath. At ocean-terminating "outlet glaciers” around the edges of Greenland, ice flows into the ocean with speed |
