Journal of Glaciology, 2021 Up to 30% of the current tidewater mass loss in Svalbard corresponds to frontal ablation through submarine melting and calving. We developed two-dimensional (2-D) glacier–line–plume and glacier–fjord circulation coupled models, both including subglacial ...

Drivers of Recurring Seasonal Cycle of Glacier Calving Styles and Patterns
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Calving is a crucial process for the mass loss of outlet glaciers draining the Greenland ice sheet. Moreover, due to a lack of observations, calving contributes to large uncertainties in current glacier flow models and projections.

Calving glaciers and ice shelves [PDF]
Advances in Physics: X, 2018 Calving, or the release of icebergs from glaciers and floating ice shelves, is an important process transferring mass into the world’s oceans. Calving glaciers and ice sheets make a large contribution to sea-level rise, but large uncertainty remains about future ice sheet response to alternative carbon scenarios.

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 ...

'Calving laws', 'sliding laws' and the stability of tidewater glaciers [PDF]
, 2007 A new calving criterion is introduced, which predicts calving where the depth of surface crevasses equals ice height above sea level. Crevasse depth is calculated from strain rates, and terminus position and calving rate are therefore functions of ice ...

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 ...
