The last glacial cycle in western Norway—extensive MIS 5d glaciation, multiple glacial advances and LGM glacial advance phases

Boreas, EarlyView.
Raised marine MIS 5c sediments evidence extensive preceding (5d) glaciation in western Norway. This is the first out of five (or six) major Weichselian glacier advances that seem to correspond to North Atlantic sea surface cooling periods. Till beds capping the marine sediments show stages of pre‐LGM advance and subsequent retreat.

CaFFe (CAlving Fronts and where to Find thEm: a benchmark dataset and methodology for automatic glacier calving front extraction from sar imagery)

, 2022
The temporal variability in calving front positions of marine-terminating glaciers permits inference on the frontal ablation. Frontal ablation, the sum of the calving rate and the melt rate at the terminus, significantly contributes to the mass balance ...

An Intensive Observation of Calving at Helheim Glacier, East Greenland [PDF]

Oceanography, 2016
Calving of glacial ice into the ocean from the Greenland Ice Sheet is an important component of global sea level rise. The calving process itself is relatively poorly observed, understood, and modeled; as such, it represents a bottleneck in improving future global sea level estimates in climate models.

Finite Viscoelastic Modeling of Ice Shelves Using Glen's Flow Law and Depth‐Dependent Material Properties

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Ice shelves are floating seaward extensions of glaciers that form where land‐based ice flows into the ocean. Recent observations suggest that their mechanical behavior is suitably described by a viscoelastic Maxwell model, as this framework captures both the instantaneous elastic response and the time‐dependent viscous flow of ice.

Response of a marine-terminating Greenland outlet glacier to abrupt cooling 8200 and 9300 years ago [PDF]

, 2011
Long-term records of Greenland outlet-glacier change extending beyond the satellite era can inform future predictions of Greenland Ice Sheet behavior. Of particular relevance is elucidating the Greenland Ice Sheet's response to decadal- and centennial ...

Fracture and Calving Front Evolution: A Case Study of Fimbul Ice Shelf, Antarctica

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT This study combines historical records, satellite remote sensing data, and inverse modelling to investigate crack formation and calving front evolution of the Fimbul Ice Shelf, Antarctica. Historical maps from the 1950s, together with satellite imagery from 1970s–2026, are used to reconstruct calving‐front positions and track the evolution of ...

Calving speed and climatic sensitivity of New Zealand lake-calving glaciers [PDF]

Annals of Glaciology, 2003
AbstractCalving speeds and calving mechanisms in fresh water contrast with those in tidewater. We obtained calving speeds for six lake-calving glaciers in New Zealand’s Southern Alps, and surveyed the depths and temperatures of their ice-contact lakes. The glaciers are temperate, grounded in shallow (≤20 m) water, and exhibit compressive flow at their ...

Moment Tensor Inversion Reveals Diverse Mechanisms for Icequakes in Ross Ice Shelf Rift WR4

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 21, 16 November 2026.
Abstract Prior studies have cataloged thousands of icequakes at Ross Ice Shelf (RIS) Western Rift 4 (WR4) and linked them to tidal cycles, thermal stress, and temperature fluctuations. Building on this foundation, we apply a full moment tensor inversion using Green's functions for a layered firn, ice, water and sediment model.

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.
