Abstract
In the last decade increased mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) and ocean warming have received wide attention – both amongst scientists and the wider public. Within the epoch of satellite-based glacier observations outlet glacier retreat has accelerated significantly, leading to concern as to the extent of future mass balance change and contribution to increased sea level change.
