Influence of temperature fluctuations on equilibrium ice sheet volume.
Weather variability has a profound impact on the mass balance of ice sheets, and the equilibrium volume of ice sheets. We illustrate this in a simple ice sheet model and find that the equilibrium ice …

Periodic outburst floods from an ice-dammed lake in East Greenland
We report evidence of four cycles of outburst floods from Catalina Lake, an ice-dammed lake in East Greenland, identified in satellite imagery between 1966–2016. The lake measures 20–25 km2, and lake …

The response of the Zachariae and 79N glaciers in Northeast Greenland to seasonal surface melt
The seasonal response to surface melting of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream outlets, Zachariae and 79N, is investigated using new highly temporally resolved surface velocity maps for 2016 combined …

Coastal sea level rise with warming above 2°C
Two degrees of global warming above the preindustrial level is widely suggested as an appropriate threshold beyond which climate change risks become unacceptably high. This “2°C” threshold is likely …

EastGRIP 16, the song
This summer I’ve been doing fieldwork at Eastgrip, doing a GPS survey of a stake strain network, and mapping the surroundings with a fixed wing drone. But I also found some time to compose a …

Working offline and caching in matlab
I am working with satellite imagery in Matlab. This is way too much data for me to keep on my laptop, and so I keep it on a server somewhere. But this has the major drawback that I cannot as easily …

An existential threat to coastal nations
We may be committing ourselves to an eventual complete deglaciation of Earth in a business-as-usual scenario (ECP8.5). The sea level rise from a complete deglaciation would wipe my own country, …

Plausible upper limit of WAIS ice loss
Ritz et al. (2015) have a recent model study of potential sea level rise from Antarctic marine ice sheet instability.

Atlantic hurricane surge response to geoengineering
Devastating floods due to Atlantic hurricanes are relatively rare events. However, the frequency of the most intense storms is likely to increase with rises in sea surface temperatures. Geoengineering …

Optimistic and over-confident ice sheet projections in AR5
Take away message: The graph on the right shows that AR5 process based ice sheet projections are optimistic and over confident when compared to views of ice sheet experts. To be fair they do mention a …
