Sea ice breakup and marine melt of a retreating tidewater outlet glacier in northeast Greenland (81°N)

Abstract Rising temperatures in the Arctic cause accelerated mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet and reduced sea ice cover. Tidewater outlet glaciers represent direct connections between glaciers and the ocean where melt rates at the ice-ocean interface are influenced by ocean temperature and cir...
