Journal of Glaciology, 2018 Calving plays a key role in the recent rapid retreat of glaciers around the world. However, many processes related to calving are poorly understood since direct observations are scarce and challenging to obtain.

The Chaos Beneath a Glacier’s Calving Front
Eos, 2021 For the first time, researchers have captured continuous data on the abrupt changes and activities happening at a glacier’s calving front.

Melt-under-cutting and buoyancy-driven calving from tidewater glaciers: new insights from discrete element and continuum model simulations [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2017 The simple calving laws currently used in ice-sheet models do not adequately reflect the complexity and diversity of calving processes. To be effective, calving laws must be grounded in a sound understanding of how calving actually works.

Effects of undercutting and sliding on calving: a global approach applied to Kronebreen, Svalbard [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 In this paper, we study the effects of basal friction, sub-aqueous undercutting and glacier geometry on the calving process by combining six different models in an offline-coupled workflow: a continuum–mechanical ice flow model (Elmer/Ice), a climatic

A Deep Active Contour Model for Delineating Glacier Calving Fronts [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2023 Choosing how to encode a real-world problem as a machine learning task is an important design decision in machine learning. The task of the glacier calving front modeling has often been approached as a semantic segmentation task.

Glacier Calving Front Segmentation Using Attention U-Net [PDF]
2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium IGARSS, 2021 An essential climate variable to determine the tidewater glacier status is the location of the calving front position and the separation of seasonal variability from long-term trends.

Pixelwise Distance Regression for Glacier Calving Front Detection and Segmentation [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2021 Glacier calving front position (CFP) is an important glaciological variable. Traditionally, delineating the CFPs has been carried out manually, which was subjective, tedious, and expensive.

On Mathews Correlation Coefficient and Improved Distance Map Loss for Automatic Glacier Calving Front Segmentation in SAR Imagery [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2021 The vast majority of the outlet glaciers and ice streams of the polar ice sheets end in the ocean. Ice mass loss via calving of the glaciers into the ocean has increased over the last few decades.

Deriving mass balance and calving variations from reanalysis data and sparse observations, Glaciar San Rafael, northern Patagonia, 1950–2005 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2011 Mass balance variations of Glaciar San Rafael, the northernmost tidewater glacier in the Southern Hemisphere, are reconstructed over the period 1950–2005 using NCEP-NCAR reanalysis climate data together with sparse, local historical observations of air ...
