Aerial photographs collected during mapping expeditions of Greenland’s coastline represent the only robust, widespread observations of twentieth-century glacier change for this vast island. We use this unique dataset to document the response of Greenland’s peripheral glaciers to climate change over approximately 130 years, providing enhanced confidence that recent changes are exceptional on a century timescale.

Bjørk, A. A. et al. An aerial view of 80 years of climate-related glacier fluctuations in southeast Greenland. Nat. Geosci. 5, 427–432 (2012). This paper uses the unique Danish archive of historical aerial photographs to document the long-term response of glaciers to climate change in southeast Greenland.
Khan, S. A. et al. Centennial response of Greenland’s three largest outlet glaciers. Nat. Commun. 11, 5718 (2020). Using historical photographs, this paper presents estimates of ice loss for three outlet glaciers of the Greenland Ice Sheet and infers that model projections underestimate future loss.
Hugonnet, R. et al. Accelerated global glacier mass loss in the early twenty-first century. Nature 592, 726–731 (2021). This paper documents surface elevation changes in glaciers globally and finds that their mass loss over the past two decades is equivalent to approximately 21% of the observed sea-level rise.
Marzeion, B. et al. Partitioning the uncertainty of ensemble projections of global glacier mass change. Earth’s Future 8, e2019EF001470 (2020). This paper evaluates uncertainty in projections of glacier mass loss and finds that the emission pathway is the largest source of uncertainty by 2100.
Rounce, D. R. Global glacier change in the 21st century: every increase in temperature matters. Science 379, 78–83 (2023). This paper presents projections for every glacier on Earth and finds that mass loss is linearly related to temperature increase.
