• Geometric controls of tidewater glacier dynamics 

      Frank, Thomas; Åkesson, Henning; Fleurian, Basile de; Morlighem, M.; Nisancioglu, Kerim Hestnes (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Retreat of marine outlet glaciers often initiates depletion of inland ice through dynamic adjustments of the upstream glacier. The local topography of a fjord may promote or inhibit such retreat, and therefore fjord geometry ...
    • Impact of runoff temporal distribution on ice dynamics 

      Fleurian, Basile de; Davy, Richard; Langebroek, Petra (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Record highs of meltwater production at the surface of the Greenland ice sheet have been recorded with a high recurrence over the last decades. Those melt seasons with longer durations, larger intensities, or with both ...
    • 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 ...
