Ice Front and Mélange Dynamics at Kangerlussuaq Glacier, Eastern Greenland, Since 1981, and Future Stability

Geophysical Research Letters
Calving is a critical factor in the dynamics of marine‐terminating glaciers, yet its long‐term behavior remains poorly understood. Existing models calibrate calving parameters with decadal observational periods and assume they remain constant ...

Horizontal force-balance calving laws: Ice shelves, marine- and land-terminating glaciers

Journal of Glaciology
Predicting calving in glacier models is challenging, as observations of diverse calving styles appear to contradict a universal calving law. Here, we generalize and apply the analytical Horizontal Force-Balance fracture model from ice shelves to land ...

Quantifying flow and stress in ice mélange, the world’s largest granular material. [PDF]

, 2018
Tidewater glacier fjords are often filled with a collection of calved icebergs, brash ice, and sea ice. For glaciers with high calving rates, this “m ́elange” of ice can be jam-packed, so that the flow of ice fragments is mostly determined by ...

Power-law distributions in binned empirical data

, 2014
Many man-made and natural phenomena, including the intensity of earthquakes, population of cities and size of international wars, are believed to follow power-law distributions.

First Order Estimation of Calving Losses from Gulf of Alaska Glaciers [PDF]

, 2012
Despite its importance in projections of sea level rise, dynamic mass loss from tidewater glaciers remains poorly constrained and understood. Owing to this difficulty, very few long-term or estimates of dynamic losses exist, and regional estimates of ...
