TL;DR: In this paper, a bathymetric sill in Sherard Osborn Fjord, northwest Greenland shields Ryder Glacier from melting by warm Atlantic water found at the bottom of the fjord.
Atmosphere-driven ice sheet mass loss paced by topography: Insights from modelling the south-western Scandinavian Ice Sheet
Henning Åkesson,Mathieu Morlighem,Kerim H. Nisancioglu,Kerim H. Nisancioglu,John Inge Svendsen,Jan Mangerud +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use a high-resolution model with an accurate representation of grounding line dynamics to study the deglaciation of the marine-based southwestern Norwegian sector of the Scandinavian ice sheet and its sensitivity to ocean and atmosphere forcing.

Pervasive cold ice within a temperate glacier -- implications for glacier thermal regimes, sediment transport and foreland geomorphology
Benedict T. I. Reinardy,Adam Booth,Anna L.C. Hughes,Anna L.C. Hughes,Clare M. Boston,Henning Åkesson,Jostein Bakke,Atle Nesje,Rianne H. Giesen,Danni Pearce +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the first systematic mapping of cold ice at the snout of the temperate glacier Midtdalsbreen, an outlet of the Hardangerjokulen icefield (Norway), from 43 line kilometres of ground-penetrating radar data.
Simulating the evolution of Hardangerjøkulen ice cap in southern Norway since the mid-Holocene and its sensitivity to climate change
Henning Åkesson,Henning Åkesson,Kerim H. Nisancioglu,Kerim H. Nisancioglu,Rianne H. Giesen,Mathieu Morlighem +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present simulations of the maritime Hardangerjokulen ice cap in Norway from the mid-Holocene through the Little Ice Age (LIA) to the present day, using a numerical ice flow model combined with glacier and climate reconstructions.
