Threefold increase in marine-terminating outlet glacier retreat rates across the Atlantic Arctic: 1992–2010

Accelerated discharge through marine-terminating outlet glaciers has been a key component of the rapid mass loss from Arctic glaciers since the 1990s. However, glacier retreat and its climatic controls have not been assessed at the pan-Arctic scale. Consequently, the spatial and temporal variability...
