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.

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
