A Reassessment of the Role of Atmospheric and Oceanic Forcing on Ice Dynamics at Jakobshavn Isbræ (Sermeq Kujalleq), Ilulissat Icefjord
The recent deceleration, thickening and advance of Greenland's largest outlet glacier, Jakobshavn Isbræ, was short-lived (2016–2018) The onset of re-acceleration preceded oceanic warming and was ...
