Quantifying the response of the Greenland ice sheet in a high-end scenario until 2300 from a coupled high-resolution regional climate and ice sheet model
Abstract:<p>The Greenland ice sheet comprises a volume of 7.4 m sea level equivalent and is losing mass rapidly as a result of global warming. It is widely thought that the ice sheet will exhibit tipping behaviour in a warmer climate. In other words, due to ice sheet &#8211; climate feedbacks (some of) its contribution to sea level rise may become irreversible once critical thresholds are crossed. This would severely affect the increasing number of people living in low-lying coastal areas worldwid… Show more
