Considering thermal‐viscous collapse of the Greenland ice sheet

We explore potential changes in Greenland ice sheet form and flow associated with increasing ice temperatures and relaxing effective ice viscosities. We define “thermal‐viscous collapse” as a transition from the polythermal ice sheet temperature distribution characteristic of the Holocene to tempera...
