Extensive dynamic thinning on the margins of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets
Mass loss from the glaciers along the margins of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets is increasingly contributing to sea level rise. However, ice loss as a result of accelerated flow, known as dynamic thinning, is so poorly understood that its potential future contribution to sea level remains unpredictable.

Holocene glacier fluctuations in the Peruvian Andes indicate Northern climate linkages
The role of the tropics in triggering, transmitting, and amplifyinginterhemispheric climate signals remains a key debate in paleoclimatology.Tropical glacier fluctuations provide important insight on regionalpaleoclimatic trends and forcings, but robust chronologies arescarce.
