The slow advance of a calving glacier: Hubbard Glacier, Alaska, U.S.A. [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2003 AbstractHubbard Glacier is the largest tidewater glacier in North America. In contrast to most glaciers in Alaska and northwestern Canada, Hubbard Glacier thickened and advanced during the 20th century. This a typical behavior is an important example of how insensitive to climate a glacier can become during parts of the calving glacier cycle.

The Imminent Calving Retreat of Taku Glacier
Eos, 2021 Long an anomaly among glaciers, advancing while most others shrank, Taku Glacier is starting to succumb to climate change, offering an unprecedented look at the onset of tidewater glacier retreat.

The future is Nye: an extension of the perfect plastic approximation to tidewater glaciers
Journal of Glaciology, 2016 Accurate modeling of calving glaciers relies on knowledge of many processes (ice flow, surface/submarine melting, calving, mélange interaction) and glacier-specific factors (air temperature, ocean circulation, precipitation rate, glacier geometry) that ...

Nature Communications, 2021 Thermal conditions and circulation near glacier fronts are important to understand the recent rapid retreat of calving glaciers. New observations from a glacial lake suggesting a feedback mechanism between atmospheric warming, glacier front melting and ...

Buoyant calving and ice-contact lake evolution at Pasterze Glacier (Austria) in the period 1998–2019 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Rapid growth of proglacial lakes in the current warming climate can pose significant outburst flood hazards, increase rates of ice mass loss, and alter the dynamic state of glaciers. We studied the nature and rate of proglacial lake evolution at Pasterze

Regional passive seismic monitoring reveals dynamic glacier activity on Spitsbergen, Svalbard [PDF]
Polar Research, 2015 Dynamic glacier activity is increasingly observed through passive seismic monitoring. We analysed near-regional-scale seismicity on the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard to identify seismic icequake signals and to study their spatial–temporal distribution ...

Annals of Glaciology, 2019 We present a highly detailed study of calving dynamics at Tunabreen, a tidewater glacier in Svalbard. A time-lapse camera was trained on the terminus and programmed to capture images every 3 seconds over a 28-hour period in August 2015, producing a ...

A three-dimensional calving model: numerical experiments on Johnsons Glacier, Livingston Island, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2010 Calving from tidewater glaciers and ice shelves accounts for around half the mass loss from both polar ice sheets, yet the process is not well represented in prognostic models of ice dynamics.
