  • Local-scale spatial variability in firn properties in Southwest Greenland 
    Xiao, Jing; Rennermalm, Åsa K.; Covi, Federico; Hock, Regine; Leidman, Sasha Z.; Miège, Clément; MacFerrin, Michael J.; Samimi, Samira (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    The increasing mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet is becoming growingly important to present-day global sea level rise. Meltwater export to the ocean may be amplified by near-surface ice layers in firn (i.e., snow that ...
  • Shallow firn cores 1989 - 2019 in southwest Greenland’s percolation zone reveal decreasing density and ice layer volume after 2012 
    Rennermalm, Åsa; Hock, Regine; Covi, Federico; Xiao, Jing; Corti, Giovanni; Kingslake, Johnny; Leidman, Sasha (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)
    Abstract Refreezing of meltwater in firn is a major component of Greenland ice-sheet's mass budget, but in situ observations are rare. Here, we compare the firn density and total ice layer thickness in the upper 15 m ...
