Increased crevassing across accelerating Greenland Ice Sheet margins (2025)
Journal Article
Chudley, T. R., Howat, I. M., King, M. D., & MacKie, E. J. (2025). Increased crevassing across accelerating Greenland Ice Sheet margins. Nature Geoscience, 18(2), 148-153. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-024-01636-6

Surface crevassing on the Greenland Ice Sheet is a large source of uncertainty in processes controlling mass loss due to a lack of comprehensive observations of their location and evolution through time. Here we use high-resolution digital elevation... Read More about Increased crevassing across accelerating Greenland Ice Sheet margins.
