Abstract:

The recent thinning, acceleration and retreat of tidewater glaciers around Greenland suggests that these systems are highly sensitive to a change in climate. Tidewater glacier dynamics have already had a significant impact on global sea level, and, given projected future climate warming, will likely continue to do so over the coming century. Understanding of the processes connecting climatic change to tidewater glacier response is, however, at an early stage. Current leading thinking links tidewater glacier change to ocean warming by submarine melting of glacier calving fronts, yet the process

Abstract:

The Greenland Ice Sheet is the largest ice sheet in the northern hemisphere. Ongoing melting of the ice sheet, resulting in increased mass loss relative to the longer term trend, has raised concerns about the stability of the ice sheet. Melt water generated at the surface is temporarily stored in supra-glacial lakes on the ice sheet. Connections between melt water generation, storage and ice sheet dynamics highlight the importance of the surface hydrological system. In this thesis different methods are used that improve our ability to observe the supra-glacial lake system on the west Greenland

Abstract:

Contemporary observations show an increase in the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) since the early 21st century. Located near the critical sites of oceanic deep convection and deep water formation, the melting of the GrIS has the potential to directly impact the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) by freshening ocean surface waters in these regions. The majority of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) models project a decline in AMOC strength by 10-50% during the 21st century, in response to the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) concentra

Abstract:

A dynamic, vertically integrated, three-dimensional, mass continuity, computer model of the Greenland ice sheet is used to predict the ice sheet's response to climatic perturbation. The ice flow is gravity driven according to glaciological physics, whereby ice flow is claculated as the sum of deformation and sliding components averaged over the ice thickness where longitudinal stresses are considered negligible. The model has inputs of the present-day ice surface and basal topography, and is forced by changes in sea level and surface mass balance, which are modelled by separately described and

Abstract:

The subglacial environment of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is poorly understood, in terms of hydrology, water storage and biogeochemical processes. High temporal resolution biogeochemical sampling of bulk meltwaters at a typical, land-terminating outlet glacier of the GrIS was employed in order to infer processes at the ice sheet bed over three contrasting melt seasons. No high temporal resolution geochemical datasets previously existed for ice sheet environments, mainly due to inaccessibility. Bulk meltwaters comprised differing propOltions of waters originating from a widespread, distribut

An improved understanding of the processes controlling the dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet is needed to enable more accurate determination of the response of the ice sheet to projected climate change. Meltwater produced on the ice sheet surface can penetrate to the bed and cause ice motion to speed up through enhanced basal sliding. However, the importance of coupled hydro-dynamics both to current ice sheet motion and future stability over the coming century is unclear.

Abstract:

There is increasing recognition that the hydrology of the Greenland Ice Sheet plays an important role in the dynamics and therefore mass balance of the ice sheet. Understanding the hydrology of the ice sheet and being able to predict its future behaviour is therefore a key aspect of glaciological research. To date, the ice sheet’s hydrology has tended to be inferred from the analysis of surface velocity measurements, or modelled in a theoretical, idealised way. This study focuses on the development of a high spatial (100 m) and temporal (1 hour) resolution, physically based, time-dependent hyd

This thesis aims to better understand the relationships between basal water pressure, friction, and sliding mechanisms at ice sheet scales. In particular, it develops a new subglacial hydrology model (Hydro) to explicitly predict water pressures in response to basal water production and water injection from the surface. Recent research suggests that the Greenland ice sheet (gis) is losing a substantial volume of ice through dynamic thinning. This process must be modelled to accurately assess the contribution of the gis to sea-level rise in future warming scenarios. A key control on dynamic thi

Abstract:

The goal of this thesis is to improve our understanding of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) and how it responds to climate change. This was achieved using ice core records to infer elevation changes of the GrIS during the Holocene (11.7 ka BP to Present). The inferred elevation changes show the response of the ice sheet interior to the Holocene Thermal Maximum (HTM; 9-5 ka BP) when temperatures across Greenland were warmer than present. These ice-core derived thinning curves act as a new set of key constraints on the deglacial history of the GrIS. Furthermore, a calibration was conducted on a th

Accurate forecasting of the Greenland Ice Sheet's contribution to global sea level change requires detailed knowledge of how ice ow responds to surface water inputs.

The dynamic response of a faster-flowing Greenland Ice Sheet to climate change is modulated by feedbacks between ice flow and surface meltwater delivery to the basal environment. While supraglacial melt processes have been thoroughly examined and are well constrained, the response of the englacial and subglacial environment to these seasonal perturbations still represent the least-studied, understood, and parameterised processes of glacier dynamics due to a paucity of direct observation.

Abstract:

Ice sheets are integral to the earth's climate system, both modulating and responding to climatic change. Iceberg calving fronts are the only dynamic interface at which the atmosphere, oceans and ice sheets directly interact. Calving introduces mechanical instability to glacier systems such that the response of calving glaciers to climatic forcing is commonly nonlinear. The interaction between calving dynamics and the ice-marginal environment, notably the topographic geometry of glacier troughs, can partially or totally decouple glacier fluctuations from climate for periods of several centurie

Abstract:

The dynamic mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet has prompted considerable research into the role of supraglacial lakes in causing dynamic thinning. These lakes can drain through 1000 m of ice to the bed and are thought to play an important role in connecting the surface and basal hydrologies of the ice sheet, allowing water to reach the bed and cause the ice to accelerate. Despite this apparent importance little research has been carried out on lakes outside of SVV Greenland, and no research has examined the occurrence of lake drainage over the whole of Greenland.

Abstract:

Supraglacial lakes in the ablation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) often drain rapidly (in hours to days) by hydraulically-driven fracture (“hydrofracture”) in the summer. Hydrofracture can deliver large meltwater volumes to the ice-bed interface and open-up surface-to-bed connections, thereby routing surface meltwater to the subglacial system, altering basal water pressures and, consequently, the velocity profile of the GrIS. The study of rapidly draining lakes is thus important for developing coupled hydrology and ice-dynamics models, which can help predict the GrIS’s future mass bala

Meltwater accumulated on the Greenland Ice Sheet drains to glacier beds, discharging into fjords hundreds of meters below sea level.

However, due to sparse ocean-glacier observations, we lack a process understanding of how plumes control fjord circulation and submarine melt.

Increasing surface runoff from the Greenland Ice Sheet due to a warming climate not only accelerates ice mass loss by altering surface mass balance, but may also lead to increased dynamic losses.
