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. …”

Supraglacial Lake Depth Retrieval from ICESat-2 and Multispectral Imagery Datasets by Quan Zhou, Qi Liang, Wanxin Xiao, Teng Li, Lei Zheng, Xiao Cheng

“…Supraglacial lakes play an important role in the surface mass balance of ice sheets. With global warming, supraglacial lakes may become more extensive on ice sheet surfaces than they currently are. …”

Performance characterization of a new, low-cost multi-GNSS instrument for the cryosphere by Derek James Pickell, Robert Lyman Hawley

“…An array of these instruments, tested in the field on the Greenland Ice Sheet, also demonstrated robustness throughout the polar winter and met power and reliability requirements.…”

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. …”

For whom and by whom is glaciology? by Alexander A. Robel, Lizz Ultee, Meghana Ranganathan, Meredith Nash

“…Glacier and ice sheet research is frequently justified on the basis of potential benefits to those communities that are most vulnerable to glacier change. …”

Antarctic Wide Subglacial Hydrology Modeling by Shivani Ehrenfeucht, Christine Dow, Koi McArthur, Mathieu Morlighem, Felicity S. McCormack

“…Abstract Global sea levels are rising due, in large part, to the increase in the rate of melting of ice sheets as a direct result of climate change. A large fraction of uncertainty in future sea level rise comes from limited understanding of basal conditions under ice sheets. …”

Surface processes and drivers of the snow water stable isotopic composition at Dome C, East Antarctica – a multi-dataset and modelling analysis by I. Ollivier, I. Ollivier, H. C. Steen-Larsen, B. Stenni, L. Arnaud, M. Casado, A. Cauquoin, G. Dreossi, C. Genthon, B. Minster, G. Picard, M. Werner, A. Landais

“…However, recent studies have identified post-depositional processes taking place at the ice sheet's surface, modifying the original precipitation signal and challenging the traditional interpretation of ice core isotopic records. …”

Assessing the effects of fjord geometry on Greenland tidewater glacier stability by Elizabeth Fischer, Andy Aschwanden

“…This complicates the task of forecasting the evolution of individual glaciers and the overall Greenland ice sheet, much of which is drained by tidewater glaciers. …”

On the factors and the degree of their effect on subglacial melt and changes in the state of Antarctic subglacial lakes by Alina Boronina, Sergey Popov, Gang Qiao

“…It is the heat flux that is responsible for the transition of most Antarctic lakes from a stable state to an active one (except for the ice stream regions). In areas where the ice sheet is thinner than 1,500 m, air temperature is the second most important factor affecting subglacial conditions. …”

Accelerating Ice Loss From Peripheral Glaciers in North Greenland by Shfaqat A. Khan, William Colgan, Thomas A. Neumann, Michiel R. van denBroeke, Kelly M. Brunt, Brice Noël, Jonathan L. Bamber, Javed Hassan, Anders A. Bjørk

“…While their total area of Greenland ice cover is relatively small (4%), their mass loss is disproportionally large compared to the Greenland ice sheet. Satellite altimetry from Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) and ICESat‐2 shows that mass loss from Greenland's peripheral glaciers increased from 27.2 ± 6.2 Gt/yr (February 2003–October 2009) to 42.3 ± 6.2 Gt/yr (October 2018–December 2021). …”
