Fluctuations of a Greenlandic tidewater glacier driven by changes in atmospheric forcing: observations and modelling of Kangiata Nunaata Sermia, 1859-present
... Utilising multiple lines of evidence, it has been possible to reconstruct terminus fluctuations of KNS from 1859 to 2012. This study therefore completes the record of terminus fluctu- ations of KNS from its LIA maximum, ...
