A decade of variability on Jakobshavn Isbræ: ocean temperatures pace speed through influence on mélange rigidity

<p>The speed of Greenland's fastest glacier, Jakobshavn Isbræ, has varied substantially since its speed-up in the late 1990s. Here we present observations of surface velocity, mélange rigidity, and surface elevation to examine its behaviour over the last decade. Consistent with earlier re...
