Ice acceleration and rotation in the Greenland Ice Sheet interior in recent decades

A. Løkkegaard, W. Colgan, et al.

Recent research by Anja Løkkegaard, William Colgan, Karina Hansen, Kisser Thorsøe, Jakob Jakobsen, and Shfaqat Abbas Khan has unveiled significant changes in the Greenland ice sheet, highlighting a 5–15% increase in ice velocities and intriguing shifts in flow azimuth. This study brings to light the emergence of large transverse crevasses, indicating a captivating transformation in ice dynamics. Creep instability, linked to warmer conditions, may be driving this remarkable acceleration and rotation.
