Modelling environmental influences on calving at Helheim Glacier in eastern Greenland [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 Calving is an important mass-loss process for many glaciers worldwide, and has been assumed to respond to a variety of environmental influences. We present a grounded, flowline tidewater glacier model using a physically-based calving mechanism, applied ...

Assessment of glacial-earthquake source parameters
Journal of Glaciology, 2017 Glacial earthquakes are slow earthquakes of magnitude M~5 associated with major calving events at near-grounded marine-terminating glaciers. These globally detectable earthquakes provide information on the grounding state of outlet glaciers and the ...

Are seasonal calving dynamics forced by buttressing from ice mélange or undercutting by melting? Outcomes from full-Stokes simulations of Store Glacier, West Greenland [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 We use a full-Stokes 2-D model (Elmer/Ice) to investigate the flow and calving dynamics of Store Glacier, a fast-flowing outlet glacier in West Greenland.

Disentangling the oceanic drivers behind the post-2000 retreat of Sermeq Kujalleq, Greenland (Jakobshavn Isbræ) [PDF]
The CryosphereOcean temperatures have warmed in the fjords surrounding the Greenland Ice Sheet, causing increased melt along their ice fronts and rapid glacier retreat and contributing to rising global sea levels.

Simultaneous disintegration of outlet glaciers in Porpoise Bay (Wilkes Land), East Antarctica, driven by sea ice break-up [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 The floating ice shelves and glacier tongues which fringe the Antarctic continent are important because they help buttress ice flow from the ice sheet interior.

A high-resolution calving front data product for marine-terminating glaciers in Svalbard [PDF]
Earth System Science DataThe mass loss of glaciers outside the polar ice sheets has been accelerating during the past several decades and has been contributing to global sea-level rise. However, many of the mechanisms of this mass loss process are not well understood, especially

Contribution of calving to frontal ablation quantified from seismic and hydroacoustic observations calibrated with lidar volume measurements [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 Frontal ablation contributes significantly to the mass balance of tidewater glaciers in Svalbard and can be recovered with high temporal resolution using continuous seismic records.

A 3D glacier dynamics–line plume model to estimate the frontal ablation of Hansbreen, Svalbard [PDF]
The CryosphereFrontal ablation is responsible for a large fraction of the mass loss from tidewater glaciers. The main contributors to frontal ablation are iceberg calving and submarine melting, with calving often being the largest.

Grounding line migration through the calving season at Jakobshavn Isbræ, Greenland, observed with terrestrial radar interferometry [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Ice velocity variations near the terminus of Jakobshavn Isbræ, Greenland, were observed with a terrestrial radar interferometer (TRI) during three summer campaigns in 2012, 2015, and 2016.

High-frequency image analysis of calving activity and styles at Hansbreen, Svalbard
Journal of GlaciologySequential photographic records of glacier termini go back to the mid-20th century, revealing climate-driven retreat. More recently, time-lapse imagery has enabled detailed analysis of glacier dynamics, including calving.
