The impact of 21st century Arctic sea ice decline on the climate and mass balance of the Greenland ice sheet and Svalbard's glaciers and ice caps
The Arctic is a region particularly susceptible to rapid climate change. General circulation models (GCMs) suggest a polar amplification of any global warming signal by a factor of about 1.5 due, in part, to sea ice feedbacks. The dramatic recent decline in multi-year sea ice cover lies outside the...
