The calving glaciers of southern South America
Global and Planetary Change, 1999Abstract Calving glaciers constitute a great majority of all glaciers in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, and are dynamically important elements of the southern South American icefields. Large numbers of tidewater glaciers calve into the Chilean fjords, and many outlet glaciers terminate in proglacial lakes.

Marine sedimentation at a calving glacier margin
Geological Society of America Bulletin, 2000A 2-month study at a subpolar, tidewater glacier was conducted at Anvers Island, Antarctic Peninsula (lat 64°S), to improve understanding of sedimentary processes and associated deposits in glacial marine settings. Data collected in the ice-proximal environment were (1) brash ice-size distribution and melt rates to assess sediment source and transport ...

A Material Point Method for Glacier Calving
2020<p>Glaciers calving ice into the ocean is predicted to significantly contribute to sea-level rise and will thus influence future climate. Although numerous factors that induce glacier calving have been identified and studied, it is still extremely challenging to develop a unified and continuum computational framework that ...

Recent Changes of a Calving Glacier, Austerdalsisen, Svartisen, Norway
Geografiska Annaler: Series A, Physical Geography, 1986The size of Austerdalsisen, northern Scandinavia's largest glacier, has decreased considerably since the beginning of the twentieth century, a feature common to other glaciers of the Svartisen area. The most recent changes of the glacier are illustrated by comparisons of photogrammetric maps from 1945, 1954, 1968, 1970, 1979 and 1983.

Global and Planetary Change, 1999
Abstract Time-changes in the terminus positions of Patagonian grounded calving glaciers are studied. The framework for the study is a model of terminus retreat based on observations of Columbia Glacier, Alaska. The interpretation favored in this work is that rapid retreat is caused by the terminus thinning to near flotation and weakening of the ice ...

Simulating 3D calving dynamics at Thwaites Glacier
Recent advances in the Elmer/Ice modelling suite have allowed 3D simulation of unrestricted calving geometries at tidewater glaciers such as Jakobshavn Isbrae. We present the first use of this model in an Antarctic setting. The more stochastic nature of calving at Antarctic ice sheets when compared to a Greenlandic setting has discouraged the ...Iain Wheel, Douglas Benn, Anna Crawford
