Glacial erosion during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has removed much evidence of earlier glaciations and interglacials in the European Alps. At Gröbminger Mitterberg (GM), beneath a blanket of LGM till, a distinctive sediment archive preserves deposits predating the LGM.

Thinning leads to calving-style changes at Bowdoin Glacier, Greenland
. Ice mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet is the largest single contributor to sea level rise in the 21st century. The mass loss rate has accelerated in recent decades mainly due to thinning and retreat of its outlet glaciers.

Dynamic Lake Ice Conditions Shape Caribou Water‐Crossing Behavior in the Arctic
Seasonally dynamic ice conditions regulate migratory connectivity in Arctic caribou. In spring, intermediate ice conditions permit direct lake crossings until a behavioral threshold in surface albedo is reached (APR ≈0.56), whereas in fall, ice‐free conditions act as barriers and promote circumnavigations around lakes.

Classification of calving fronts around Antarctica [PDF]
Iceberg calving is the largest loss term in Antarctic mass balance. The iceberg areas vary from a few square meters (growler) to several hundred square kilometres (huge tabular icebergs or ice islands) and their shape (blocky, domed or tabular) depends ...

Seabed corrugations beneath an Antarctic ice shelf revealed by autonomous underwater vehicle survey: Origin and implications for the history of Pine Island Glacier [PDF]
Ice shelves are critical features in the debate about West Antarctic ice sheet change and sea level rise, both because they limit ice discharge and because they are sensitive to change in the surrounding ocean.

Calving front positions for 42 key glaciers of the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet: a sub-seasonal record from 2013 to 2023 based on deep-learning application to Landsat multi-spectral imagery [PDF]
Calving front positions of marine-terminating glaciers are an essential parameter for understanding dynamic glacier changes and constraining ice modelling.

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

Compared to land-terminating glaciers, lake-terminating glaciers generally experience a higher mass loss due to the feedback from processes such as calving, dynamic thinning and flow acceleration associated with proglacial lakes.

Surface dynamics and history of the calving cycle of Astrolabe Glacier (Adélie Coast, Antarctica) derived from satellite imagery [PDF]
The recent calving of Astrolabe Glacier on the Adélie Coast (East Antarctica) in November 2021 presents an opportunity to better understand the processes leading to ice tongue fracturing.
