Contrasts in the response of adjacent fjords and glaciers to ice-sheet surface melt in West Greenland

Contrasts in the response of adjacent fjords and glaciers to ice-sheet surface melt in West Greenland

Neighboring tidewater glaciers often exhibit asynchronous dynamic behavior, despite relatively uniform regional atmospheric and oceanic forcings. This variability may be controlled by a combination of local factors, including glacier and fjord geometry, fjord heat content and circulation, and glacie...
