Local forcing mechanisms challenge parameterizations of ocean thermal forcing for Greenland tidewater glaciers

<p>Frontal ablation has caused 32 %–66 % of Greenland Ice Sheet mass loss since 1972, and despite its importance in driving terminus change, ocean thermal forcing remains crudely incorporated into large-scale ice sheet models. In Greenland, local fjord-scale processes modify the magnitude of t...
