Greenland supraglacial lake drainages triggered by hydrologically induced basal slip

Water-driven fracture propagation beneath supraglacial lakes rapidly transports large volumes of surface meltwater to the base of the Greenland Ice Sheet1. These drainage events drive transient ice-sheet acceleration1,2,3 and establish conduits for additional surface-to-bed meltwater transport for t...
