Short summary
Using satellite imagery and machine learning, we created the first Greenland-wide dataset of slush (waterlogged snow) from 2016 to 2024. Slush was widespread and varied strongly between years and across Greenland, becoming most extensive during high melt seasons. It was most common where melting was greater and snow had less capacity to store water. These findings show that slush should be included in models of future melting and sea-level rise.
