Asynchronous response of marine-terminating outlet glaciers during deglaciation of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet (2014)

Recent studies have highlighted the dynamic behavior of marine-terminating outlet glaciers over decadal time scales, linked to both atmospheric and oceanic warming. This helps explain episodes of nearly synchronous flow acceleration, thinning, and re...
