Trapped meltwater affects mass loss of Greenland ice sheet

Trapped meltwater affects mass loss of Greenland ice sheet

An analysis suggests that ice geometry and flow speeds control how meltwater affects the slipperiness of the bed beneath the Greenland ice sheet. Changes in these conditions could therefore influence future ice-mass loss.
