Future sea-level rise from Greenland's main outlet glaciers in a warming climate
Description: The authors of this paper present a glacier flow model that includes a fully dynamic treatment of marine termini. They use this model to simulate behaviour of four major marine-terminating outlet glaciers, which collectively drain about 22 per cent of the Greenland Ice Sheet. [Source: Nature]
