Adaptive Acoustic Monitoring for Endangered Cook Inlet Beluga Whales in Complex Soundscapes

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective conservation of the endangered Cook Inlet beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) requires comprehensive spatiotemporal data, yet monitoring efforts remain spatially biased, underrepresenting important southern habitats. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) provides the necessary broad‐scale coverage, but its expansion introduces ...

Reduced West Antarctic Ice Sheet Size During Prominent Quaternary Interglacials Constrained by Iceberg‐Rafted Debris Provenance in the Amundsen Sea

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The stability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) remains a major uncertainty in sea‐level projections, and geologic records provide important constraints on its past behavior. We present 40Ar/39Ar ages of biotite and hornblende grains from iceberg‐rafted debris (IRD) in two Amundsen Sea sediment cores (PC493 and PS58/254), located south ...

Glacial Ice‐Front Calving: Internal Wave Generation and Melting

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Small, frequent calving events dominate the behavior of most Arctic marine‐terminating glaciers, yet their oceanographic impacts remain largely unquantified. We present the first direct observations of internal waves generated by modest ice‐fall calving at Kronebreen, Svalbard. High‐resolution current meter and microstructure measurements show

The integrated ice sheet response to stochastic iceberg calving

Journal of Glaciology
Iceberg calving is a major source of ice loss from the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. However, it is still one of the most poorly understood aspects of ice sheet dynamics, in part due to its variability at a wide range of spatial and temporal scales.

A simple model of mélange buttressing for calving glaciers [PDF]

, 2020
Abstract. Both ice sheets on Greenland and Antarctica are discharging ice into the ocean. In many regions along the coast of the ice sheets, the icebergs calf into a bay. If the addition of icebergs through calving is faster than their transport out of the embayment, the icebergs will be frozen into a mélange with surrounding sea ice in winter. In this

Tidewater glacier response to individual calving events

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
AbstractTidewater glaciers have been observed to experience instantaneous, stepwise increases in velocity during iceberg-calving events due to a loss of resistive stresses. These changes in stress can potentially impact tidewater glacier stability by promoting additional calving and affecting the viscous delivery of ice to the terminus.

An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
The southwest Pacific region is geologically complex and exhibits all the principal causes of tsunami generation. While contemporary events and historical catalogs indicate that trans‐Pacific tsunamis have affected this area (∼18% of tsunamis reported globally), it is unique in that a large part of the tsunami effects over the ∼200‐year historical ...

Seasonal Ice Dynamics Control the Timing of Crevasse Drainage at a Fast‐Flowing Outlet Glacier

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Crevasse field drainage transfers at least half of the seasonal runoff from the surface to the bed of the Greenland Ice Sheet, but the patterns of drainage are complex and spatio‐temporally heterogenous. To better understand controls on crevasse drainage processes, we use an automated deep learning method to map the seasonal filling and ...

Calving of Fuerza Aérea Glacier (Greenwich Island, Antarctica) observed with terrestrial laser scanning and continuous video monitoring

Journal of Glaciology, 2016
A short-term series of quantitative observations of calving activity of Fuerza Aérea Glacier (Greenwich Island, the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica) was conducted in order to test new methods of monitoring calving.

Calving of a tidewater glacier driven by melting at the waterline [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 2015
AbstractWe present a study of the development of a thermo-erosional notch at the waterline and its influence on calving of Hansbreen, a medium-sized grounded tidewater glacier in southern Svalbard. The study is based on the results of undercut notch melt modelling, based on measurements of sea-water properties, repeated terrestrial laser scans and ...
