Open AccessHeterogeneous impacts of ocean thermal forcing on ice discharge from Greenland's peripheral tidewater glaciers over 2000–2021
The Greenland Ice Sheet is losing mass at increasing rates. Substantial amounts of this mass loss occur by ice discharge which is influenced by ocean thermal forcing. The ice sheet is surrounded by thousands o...

Open AccessGlobal and regional ocean mass budget closure since 2003
In recent sea level studies, discrepancies have arisen in ocean mass observations obtained from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment and its successor, GRACE Follow-On, with GRACE estimates consistently...

Projected land ice contributions to twenty-first-century sea level rise
The land ice contribution to global mean sea level rise has not yet been predicted1 using ice sheet and glacier models for the latest set of socio-economic scenarios, nor using coordinated exploration of uncertai...

Twentieth-century contribution to sea-level rise from uncharted glaciers
Global-mean sea-level rise (GMSLR) during the twentieth century was primarily caused by glacier and ice-sheet mass loss, thermal expansion of ocean water and changes in terrestrial water storage1. Whether based o...

Limited influence of climate change mitigation on short-term glacier mass loss
Glacier mass loss is a key contributor to sea-level change1,2, slope instability in high-mountain regions3,4 and the changing seasonality and volume of river flow5–7. Understanding the causes, mechanisms and time...

Internal Variability Versus Anthropogenic Forcing on Sea Level and Its Components
In this paper we review and update detection and attribution studies in sea level and its major contributors during the past decades. Tide gauge records reveal that the observed twentieth-century global and re...

Anthropogenic forcing dominates global mean sea-level rise since 1970
Analysis of anthropogenic and natural contributions to twentieth-century sea-level rise shows natural contributions dominated in the early years. After 1970, anthropogenic forcing becomes the dominant contribu...

Open AccessComparing the skill of different reanalyses and their ensembles as predictors for daily air temperature on a glaciated mountain (Peru)
It is well known from previous research that significant differences exist amongst reanalysis products from different institutions. Here, we compare the skill of NCEP-R (reanalyses by the National Centers for ...

Limited forcing of glacier loss through land-cover change on Kilimanjaro
A study shows that regional atmospheric change driven by land-cover change contributes little to glacier mass loss on Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro. More generally, this finding suggests that local land-cover c...

Sensitivity of North Atlantic subpolar gyre and overturning to stratification-dependent mixing: response to global warming
We use a reduced complexity climate model with a three-dimensional ocean component and realistic topography to investigate the effect of stratification-dependent mixing on the sensitivity of the North Atlantic...
