The contribution of hydroisostasy to modern changes in sea level and vertical displacements of the solid surface of the Earth in the Far Eastern seas by Bulgakov, Rustam F.

“…The melting of large ice sheets in areas far from the centers of glaciation, such as the Far Eastern seas, caused the loading of the seabed with a 120 m layer of water – hydroisostasy – which caused vertical displacements of the seafloor and coastal areas. …”

Machine learning of Antarctic firn density by combining radiometer and scatterometer remote-sensing data by W. Li, S. B. M. Veldhuijsen, S. Lhermitte, S. Lhermitte

“…<p>Firn density plays a crucial role in assessing the surface mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet. However, our understanding of the spatial and temporal variations in firn density is limited due to (i) spatial and temporal limitations of in situ measurements, (ii) potential modelling uncertainties, and (iii) lack of firn density products driven by satellite remote-sensing data. …”

Terminus thinning drives recent acceleration of a Greenlandic lake-terminating outlet glacier by Ed Holt, Peter Nienow, Encarni Medina-Lopez

“…We attribute these dynamic differences to thinning at Isortuarsuup Sermia and subsequent retreat from a stabilising sublacustrine moraine, and emphasise the potential of proglacial lakes to enhance future rates of mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet.…”

Modelling lateral meltwater flow and superimposed ice formation atop Greenland's near-surface ice slabs by Nicole Clerx, Horst Machguth, Andrew Tedstone, Dirk van As

“…At high elevations on the Greenland ice sheet meltwater percolates and refreezes in place, and hence does not contribute to mass loss. …”

A stretched polar vortex increased mid-latitude climate variability during the Last Glacial Maximum by Y. Zhang, H. Renssen, H. Seppä, Z. Li, X. Li

“…Our results show that under LGM conditions, the SPV stretched towards the Laurentide ice sheet; this was accompanied by anomalous upward wave propagation and enhanced SPV variability, which increased the likelihood of cold-air outbreaks into the mid-latitudes. …”

Comparing Surface Height Used in NCAR Climate Model with That Observed by ICEsat: Effects on Skin Temperature Simulation by Menglin Jin

“…This deficiency, in part, leads to underestimated skin temperatures at coastal regions—the areas where significant ice sheet melt is observed. Furthermore, sensitivity studies reveal that surface skin temperature simulations of Greenland would be significantly improved if the more accurate surface height is used. …”
