Abstract
Detection, attribution and projection of mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet has been a central focus of the glaciological community, with surface meltwater thought to play a key role in feedbacks that could accelerate sea-level rise. While the prospect of runaway sliding has faded, much remains uncertain when it comes to the role of surface runoff and subglacial discharge in Greenland's future.
