By Lauren Rawlins , University of York Since the early 1990’s, the amount of meltwater on the Greenland Ice Sheet has dramatically increased due to rising air temperatures from climatic warming and darkening of the ice surface (1) . Observations from satellite imagery over this time have seen the supraglacial hydrology system become more extensive, form further inland and be active for longer (2-3) . As this meltwater will ultimately end up in the ocean, whether that is by direct evacuation off the ice edge or the eventual channelisation of melt from the en- or sub-glacial systems, it directly
