[GLIMS] GLIMS Update: two Greenland papers, including the "Atlas Turning Greenland Green" paper

[Jeffrey Kargel]

Dear GLIMS colleagues
and Greenlandophiles,

 

As with all papers in
The Cryosphere, this newly published one is open access, so you can freely download
and make use of the main paper and the high-resolution supplement from this
site:

http://www.the-cryosphere.net/recent_papers.html

 

Brief Communication: Greenland's shrinking
ice cover: "fast times" but not that fastJ. S. Kargel, A. P. Ahlstrøm,
R. B. Alley, J. L. Bamber, T. J. Benham, J. E. Box,
C. Chen, P. Christoffersen, M. Citterio, J. G. Cogley,
H. Jiskoot, G. J. Leonard, P. Morin, T. Scambos, T. Sheldon,
and I. Willis

The Cryosphere, 6, 533-537, 2012

 

IGS will be hosting a 5-part blog series written by me on further details and bigger meaning of the Atlas fiasco (and the publisher's remarkable recovery from it).  The blog is not out yet, but it will be soon.  As we acknowledge in our paper and as detailed in the blog, the scientific response to the Times Atlas mistake was a tremendous community effort, and also included a constructive response by the publisher of the Times Atlas.
Also, a topically related, news-making paper appeared late this
week in Science, and together these papers do very well for the subject: 

T.
Moon, I. Joughin, B. Smith, and I. Howatt, 2012, 21st-Century Evolution of
Greenland Outlet Glacier Velocities, SCIENCE May 4, 2012, 336 (3081), 576-578.

 

Cheers,

 

Jeff Kargel
