- Paper shows that the East Greenland ice-sheet remained solid for most of the past several million years. Understanding past ice-sheet dynamics is critical for predictions of global warming response. Global significance of the work was the subject of a Nature “News and Views” article and the paper featured on the journal cover. Paper received broad attention in the global press, including Time magazine, Scientific American, Popular Science, Christian Science Monitor, and the Daily Mail. Novel methods reported in paper underpin further research supported by NERC-NSFPLR grant NE/S006753/1 to author Rood to support similar analysis of glaciers (£379k).
