This research focuses on the runoff limit of the Greenland ice sheet, which significantly affects its mass loss and sea level rise. By analyzing satellite data, the project aims to understand how changes in runoff patterns influence the ice sheet's response to climate change.
Meltwater running off the flanks of the Greenland ice sheet contributes roughly 60% to its mass loss, the rest being due to calving.
Only meltwater originating from below the elevation of the runoff limit leaves the ice sheet, contributing to mass loss; melt at higher elevations refreezes in the porous firn and does not drive mass loss.
Therefore any shift in the runoff limit modifies mass loss and subsequent sea level rise.
New evidence shows surface runoff at increasingly high elevations, outp…
