Abstract
The Greenland ice sheet is losing mass to the ocean at an increasing rate (Thomas et al. 2006). During the 1980s the ice sheet was believed to be in near-equilibrium (van den Broeke et al. 2009). Within the first decade of the 21st century, however, a net negative balance was observed. Greenland’s present rate of ice loss is c. 250 Gt yr–1, equivalent to a sea-level rise contribution of c. 0.69 mm yr–1. The rate of ice loss has increased over the post 1992 observation period (Shepherd et al. 2012).
