Identifying Spatial Variability in Greenland's Outlet Glacier Response to Ocean Heat

Although the Greenland ice sheet is losing mass as a whole, patterns of change on both local and regional scales are complex. Spatial statistics reveal large spatial variability of dynamic thinning rates of Greenland's marine-terminating glaciers between 2003 and 2009; only 18% of glacier thinn...
