• Impact of Fjord Geometry on Grounding Line Stability 

      Åkesson, Henning; Nisancioglu, Kerim Hestnes; Nick, Faezeh M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06-05)
      Recent and past retreat of marine-terminating glaciers are broadly consistent with observed ocean warming, yet responses vary significantly within regions experiencing similar ocean conditions. We assess how fjord geometry ...
    • Non-linear retreat of Jakobshavn Isbræ since the Little Ice Age controlled by geometry 

      Steiger, Nadine; Nisancioglu, Kerim H.; Åkesson, Henning; Fleurian, Basile de; Nick, Faezeh M. (Journal article, 2017-09)
      Rapid acceleration and retreat of Greenland's marine-terminating glaciers during the last two decades have initiated questions on the trigger and processes governing observed changes. Destabilization of these glaciers ...
    • Rapid retreat of a Scandinavian marine outlet glacier in response to warming at the last glacial termination 

      Åkesson, Henning; Gyllencreutz, Richard; Mangerud, Jan; Svendsen, John-Inge; Nick, Faezeh M.; Nisancioglu, Kerim Hestnes (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Marine outlet glaciers on Greenland are retreating, yet it is unclear if the recent fast retreat will persist, and how atmosphere and ocean warming will impact future retreat. We show how a marine outlet glacier in ...
    • Simulated retreat of Jakobshavn Isbræ since the Little Ice Age controlled by geometry 

      Steiger, Nadine; Nisancioglu, Kerim Hestnes; Åkesson, Henning; de Fleurian, Basile; Nick, Faezeh M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-07-12)
      Rapid retreat of Greenland's marine-terminating glaciers coincides with regional warming trends, which have broadly been used to explain these rapid changes. However, outlet glaciers within similar climate regimes ...
