Calving glaciers and ice shelves
, 2018 Calving, or the release of icebergs from glaciers and floating ice shelves, is an important process transferring mass into the world’s oceans. Calving glaciers and ice sheets make a large contribution to sea-level rise, but large uncertainty remains ...

Theoretical stability of ice shelf basal crevasses with a vertical temperature profile
Journal of GlaciologyBasal crevasses threaten the stability of ice shelves through the potential to form rifts and calve icebergs. Furthermore, it is important to determine the dependence of crevasse stability on temperature due to large vertical temperature variations on ...

Winter and spring climatic conditions influence timing and synchrony of calving in reindeer
PLoS ONE, 2018 In a context of climate change, a mismatch has been shown to occur between some species’ reproductive phenology and their environment. So far, few studies have either documented temporal trends in calving phenology or assessed which climatic variables ...

Response of lacustrine glacier dynamics to atmospheric forcing in the Cordillera Darwin
Journal of GlaciologyCalving glaciers respond quickly to atmospheric variability through ice dynamic adjustment. Particularly, single weather extremes may cause changes in ice-flow velocity and terminus position.

Glacier Calving Rates Due to Subglacial Discharge, Fjord Circulation, and Free Convection
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2018 Tidewater glacier calving provides the most direct mechanism of ice transfer from land to the ocean. However, the physical melt processes influencing calving remain challenging to constrain.

Earlier calves are heavier calves
California Agriculture, 1969 CATTLEMEN HAVE OBSERVED that calves dropped early in the calving season arc heavier at weaning and more profitable than calves dropped late in the calving season. Animal scientists have pointed out that weaning weight is the result of age at weaning and average daily gain from birth to weaning.

Velocity response of Petermann Glacier, northwest Greenland, to past and future calving events
The Cryosphere, 2018 . Dynamic ice discharge from outlet glaciers across the Greenland Ice Sheet has increased since the beginning of the 21st century. Calving from floating ice tongues that buttress these outlets can accelerate ice flow and discharge of grounded ice ...

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2018 Metritis affects up to 40% of dairy cows and it is usually treated with antibiotics. In spite of their advantages, there is an increased concern about antibiotic resistance leading to the research of alternative methods.
