Summer surface melt thins Petermann Gletscher Ice Shelf by enhancing channelized basal melt
Increasing ocean and air temperatures have contributed to the removal of floating ice shelves from several Greenland outlet glaciers; however, the specific contribution of these external forcings remains poorly understood. Here we use atmospheric, oceanographic and glaciological time series data fro...
