To understand how calving retreat has affected the ice mass balance in Greenland, we combine 236,328 manually derived and AI-derived observations of glacier end positions collected from 1985 to 2022 to create a 120 m resolution mask that defines the ice sheet. every month for nearly four decades.

Our results suggest that by neglecting pre-calving retreat, current consensus estimates of ice sheet mass balance underestimate recent mass loss from Greenland by as much as 20 %. The mass loss we report had minimal direct impact on global sea level, but is sufficient to influence ocean circulation and the distribution of thermal energy across the globe. (<em>Chad A.
