Constraining ice slab thickness at the onset of visible surface runoff from the Greenland ice sheet

Firn, an interannual layer made of a seasonal snow, covers the vast majority of the Greenland ice sheet. Firn holds the potential to buffer meltwater runoff by refreezing in its pore space. However, recent intensive summer melt and refreezing have led to the development of low-permeability ice slabs...
