Ice dynamics preceding catastrophic disintegration of the floating part of Jakobshavn Isbræ, Greenland

The floating terminal of Jakobshavn Isbræ, the fastest Greenland ice stream, has disintegrated since 2002, resulting in a doubling of ice velocity and rapidly lowering inland ice elevations. Conditions prior to disintegration were modeled using control theory in a plane-stress solution, and the Miss...
