    • Glacier algae accelerate melt rates on the south-western Greenland Ice Sheet 

      Cook, Joseph M.; Tedstone, Andrew J.; Williamson, Christopher; McCutcheon, Jenine; Hodson, Andrew J.; Dayal, Archana; Skiles, McKenzie; Hofer, Stefan; Bryant, Robert; McAree, Owen; McGonigle, Andrew; Ryan, Jonathan; Anesio, Alexandre M.; Irvine-Fynn, Tristram D.L.; Hubbard, Alun Lloyd; Hanna, Edward; Flanner, Mark; Mayanna, Sathish; Benning, Liane G.; van As, Dirk; Yallop, Marian; McQuaid, James B.; Gribbin, Thomas; Tranter, Martyn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-29)
      Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is the largest single contributor to eustatic sea level and is amplified by the growth of pigmented algae on the ice surface, which increases solar radiation absorption. This biological albedo-reducing effect and its impact upon sea level rise has not previously been quantified. Here, we combine field spectroscopy with a radiative-transfer model, supervised ...

    • Rapid development and persistence of efficient subglacial drainage under 900 m-thick ice in Greenland 

      Chandler, David Matthew; Wadham, Jemma Louise; Nienow, Peter W.; Doyle, Samuel H.; Tedstone, Andrew J.; Telling, Jon; Hawkings, Jonathan R.; Alcock, Jonathan; Linhoff, Benjamin; Hubbard, Alun Lloyd (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-11)
      Intensive study of the Greenland Ice Sheet's (GrIS) subglacial drainage has been motivated by its importance for ice dynamics and for nutrient/sediment export to coastal ecosystems. This has revealed consistent seasonal development of efficient subglacial drainage in the lower ablation area. While some hydrological models show qualitative agreement with field data, conflicting evidence (both field- ...

    • Temporal Variability of Surface Reflectance Supersedes Spatial Resolution in Defining Greenland’s Bare-Ice Albedo 

      Irvine-Fynn, Tristram D. L.; Bunting, Peter S.; Cook, Joseph M.; Hubbard, Alun; Barrand, Nicholas E.; Hanna, Edward; Hardy, Andy J.; Hodson, Andrew J.; Holt, Tom O.; Huss, Matthias; McQuaid, James B.; Nilsson, Johan; Naegeli, Kathrin; Roberts, Osian; Ryan, Jonathan C.; Tedstone, Andrew J.; Tranter, Martyn; Williamson, Christopher J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-23)
      Ice surface albedo is a primary modulator of melt and runoff, yet our understanding of how reflectance varies over time across the Greenland Ice Sheet remains poor. This is due to a disconnect between point or transect scale albedo sampling and the coarser spatial, spectral and/or temporal resolutions of available satellite products. Here, we present time-series of bare-ice surface reflectance data ...
