A particle based simulation model for glacier dynamics [PDF]
, 2013 A particle-based computer simulation model was developed for investigating the dynamics of glaciers. In the model, large ice bodies are made of discrete elastic particles which are bound together by massless elastic beams.

Viscoelastic analysis of Calving Glaciers [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1980 Calving of floating ice shelves is studied by a viscoelastic finite-element analysis. The fan-shaped breaking-up of glaciers due to forces that cause bending on creeping ice is assumed to be axisymmetric. Bending may be due to geometry of the bcdrock, action of tides and waves, and imbalance (at the ice front) between the stress in the ice and the sea ...

Monitoring Glacier Calving using Underwater Sound
The Cryosphere, 2023 Abstract. Climate shifts are particularly conspicuous in the Arctic. Satellite and terrestrial observations show significant increases in the melting and breakup of Arctic tidewater glaciers and their influence on sea level rise. Increasing melt rates are creating an urgency to better understand the link between atmospheric and oceanic conditions and ...

Glacio-limnological interactions at lake-calving glaciers [PDF]
, 2012 Iceberg calving is an efficient ablation process which introduces mechanical instability to glacier systems and can cause non-linear climatic response.

A physically based calving model applied to marine outlet glaciers and implications for the glacier dynamics [PDF]
, 2010 We present results from numerical ice-flow models that include calving criteria based on penetration of surface and basal crevasses, which in turn is a function of longitudinal strain rates near the glacier front.

Large spatial variations in the flux balance along the front of a Greenland tidewater glacier [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 The frontal flux balance of a medium-sized tidewater glacier in western Greenland in the summer is assessed by quantifying the individual components (ice flux, retreat, calving, and submarine melting) through a combination of data and models. Ice flux

Impact of tides on calving patterns at Kronebreen, Svalbard – insights from three-dimensional ice dynamical modelling [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Understanding calving processes and their controls is of importance for reducing uncertainty in sea level rise estimates. The impact of tidal fluctuations and frontal melt on calving patterns has been researched through both modelling and observational ...

Modelling the impact of submarine frontal melting and ice mélange on glacier dynamics [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 Submarine melting of the calving face of tidewater glaciers and the mechanical back force applied by the ice mélange layer are two mechanisms generally proposed to explain seasonal variations at the calving front of tidewater glaciers.

Processes of crevasse formation and the dynamics of calving glaciers : a study at Breiđamerkurjökull [PDF]
, 2009 A new model proposed by Benn et al. (2006, 2007) explains the dynamics of calving glaciers based on a new sliding law and a calving criterion modified from a crevasse depth model. In this thesis three key elements of this model are tested: 1) the role
