Boreas, EarlyView.Rapid thaw of the Earth's cryosphere in response to anthropogenic warming highlights the need to identify and understand the contrasting signatures of past ice‐sheet stability and collapse. The Kvarken archipelago, western Finland, at the centre of the former Fennoscandian Ice Sheet (FIS), has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in recognition

Boreas, EarlyView.Ice sheets and glaciers globally are losing mass at increasing rates, with the strongest changes occurring at tidewater glaciers. These are rapidly retreating and often transitioning to land‐terminating with implications for sea level change and ecosystem functioning.

A 3D glacier dynamics–line plume model to estimate the frontal ablation of Hansbreen, Svalbard [PDF]
The CryosphereFrontal ablation is responsible for a large fraction of the mass loss from tidewater glaciers. The main contributors to frontal ablation are iceberg calving and submarine melting, with calving often being the largest.

Grounding line migration through the calving season at Jakobshavn Isbræ, Greenland, observed with terrestrial radar interferometry [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Ice velocity variations near the terminus of Jakobshavn Isbræ, Greenland, were observed with a terrestrial radar interferometer (TRI) during three summer campaigns in 2012, 2015, and 2016.

Glacier dynamics near the calving front of Bowdoin Glacier, northwestern Greenland [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2015 AbstractTo better understand recent rapid recession of marine-terminating glaciers in Greenland, we performed satellite and field observations near the calving front of Bowdoin Glacier, a 3 km wide outlet glacier in northwestern Greenland. Satellite data revealed a clear transition to a rapidly retreating phase in 2008 from a relatively stable glacier ...

Forecasting Climate Change Using a Multivariate Cointegrated System
Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A cointegrated vector equilibrium correction model of key climate variables including sea surface temperature, ocean heat content, Arctic sea‐ice extent and sea‐level change is built, driven by radiative forcing in which a stochastic trend arises due to anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases.

Calving laws and where to find them
Journal of GlaciologyCalving from tidewater glaciers and ice shelves is an important component of global mass balance and may contribute significantly to future sea-level rise.

High-frequency image analysis of calving activity and styles at Hansbreen, Svalbard
Journal of GlaciologySequential photographic records of glacier termini go back to the mid-20th century, revealing climate-driven retreat. More recently, time-lapse imagery has enabled detailed analysis of glacier dynamics, including calving.

A simple stress-based cliff-calving law [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 Over large coastal regions in Greenland and Antarctica the ice sheet calves directly into the ocean. In contrast to ice-shelf calving, an increase in calving from grounded glaciers contributes directly to sea-level rise.
