Journal of Glaciology, 2018 Calving plays a key role in the recent rapid retreat of glaciers around the world. However, many processes related to calving are poorly understood since direct observations are scarce and challenging to obtain.

Antarctic calving loss rivals ice-shelf thinning
Nature, 2022 Antarctica’s ice shelves help to control the flow of glacial ice as it drains into the ocean, meaning that the rate of global sea-level rise is subject to the structural integrity of these fragile, floating extensions of the ice sheet1–3. Until now, data

Iceberg Calving: Regimes and Transitions
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Science, 2023 Uncertainty about sea-level rise is dominated by uncertainty about iceberg calving, mass loss from glaciers or ice sheets by fracturing. Review of the rapidly growing calving literature leads to a few overarching hypotheses.

PLoS ONE, 2021 In the present study, records on 115,291 heifers distributed in 113 herds were used to investigate the association between age at the first calving (AFC) and lactation performance, lactation curve, the length of the first calving interval (CI), calf ...

Calving Multiplier Effect Controlled by Melt Undercut Geometry
Journal of Geophysical Research - Earth Surface, 2021 Quantifying the impact of submarine melting on calving is central to understanding the response of marine‐terminating glaciers to ocean forcing. Modeling and observational studies suggest the potential for submarine melting to amplify calving (the ...

Mass Loss From Calving in Himalayan Proglacial Lakes
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 The formation and expansion of Himalayan glacial lakes has implications for glacier dynamics, mass balance and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs).

The Cryosphere, 2020 . Sea level contributions from the Greenland Ice Sheet are influenced by the rapid changes in glacial terminus positions. The documentation of these evolving calving front positions, for which satellite imagery forms the basis, is therefore important ...

Calving difficulty influences rumination time and inflammatory profile in Holstein dairy cows.
Journal of Dairy Science, 2020 Difficult calving may adversely affect dairy cow health and performance. Maternal:fetal disproportion is a major cause of dystocia. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to assess the effects of dam:calf body weight ratio (D:C) on calving ...

Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2020 Accurate prediction of calving time in dairy cattle is crucial for dairy herd management to reduce risks like dystocia and pain. Prediction of calving using traditional, manual observation such as observing breeding records and visual cues, however, is a

Female site fidelity of the Mealy Mountain caribou herd (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Labrador
Rangifer, 2011 The Mealy Mountain caribou population of southeastern Labrador is listed as threatened. Site fidelity - the philopatric tendency of an animal to remain in or return to the same site - has often been suspected in sedentary caribou like the Mealy Mountain,
