The Greenland ice sheet is one of the largest contributors to global sea level rise, and if completely melted, could add ~7 meters to sea level.

In recent years, the imbalance of the ice sheet has increased with warmer atmospheric conditions. In this talk, Visiting Assistant Professor Samiah Moustafa describes the field’s current knowledge on Greenland ice sheet hydrology, and how scientists use remote sensing, modeling, and field-based studies to understand Greenland’s complex hydrologic system.
