“…In deep fjords, such as those around much of the periphery of Greenland, warm, saline water is typically found at depth (> 200 m), overlaid by cold, fresher water and, during summer, a thin layer (∼ 50 m or less) of relatively warm near-surface water (Straneo et al, 2012). The injection of freshwater into fjords from subglacial discharge (Xu et al, 2012;Carroll et al, 2015) and terminus (Slater et al, 2018) and iceberg melt (Moon et al, 2018) can drive substantial buoyancy-driven flows in the fjord (Carroll et al, 2015(Carroll et al, , 2017Jackson et al, 2017), which amplify exchange with the shelf system as well as submarine melting and the calving rates of glacier termini. To date, such modifications to circulation and exchange between glacier fjords and shelf waters have primarily been studied in terms of their effects on ocean physics and melting at glacier termini, yet they also have profound impacts on marine productivity (Meire et al, 2016a;Kanna et al, 2018;Torsvik et al, 2019).…”
