Are seasonal calving dynamics forced by buttressing from ice mélange or undercutting by melting? Outcomes from full-Stokes simulations of Store Glacier, West Greenland [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 We use a full-Stokes 2-D model (Elmer/Ice) to investigate the flow and calving dynamics of Store Glacier, a fast-flowing outlet glacier in West Greenland.

Deep Multi-stream Network for Video-based Calving Sign Detection [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We have designed a deep multi-stream network for automatically detecting calving signs from video. Calving sign detection from a camera, which is a non-contact sensor, is expected to enable more efficient livestock management. As large-scale, well-developed data cannot generally be assumed when establishing calving detection systems, the basis for ...

Viscous and viscoelastic stress states at the calving front of Antarctic ice shelves [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2016 ABSTRACTCalving mechanisms are still poorly understood and stress states in the vicinity of ice-shelf fronts are insufficiently known for the development of physically motivated calving laws that match observations. A calving model requires the knowledge of maximum tensile stresses.

Boreas, EarlyView.De Geer moraines may act as valuable ice‐marginal indicators; however, to date, their variable mode of formation has presented challenges for this utility. Here, we present sedimentological and ground penetrating radar data of DGMs located in southwest Finland.

Quantifying flow and stress in ice mélange, the world’s largest granular material. [PDF]
, 2018 Tidewater glacier fjords are often filled with a collection of calved icebergs, brash ice, and sea ice. For glaciers with high calving rates, this “m ́elange” of ice can be jam-packed, so that the flow of ice fragments is mostly determined by ...

Journal of Glaciology, 2020 Retreat of calving glaciers worldwide has contributed substantially to sea-level rise in recent decades. Mass loss by calving contributes significantly to the uncertainty of sea-level rise projections.

Boreas, EarlyView.Glacier evolution and environmental changes in the northern Jan‐Mayen from the early deglaciation and well into the Holocene are discussed. Results are based on a large chronological dataset (TCN and radiocarbon dates), integrated with field data on glacial landforms and sediments, including the use of GPR.

Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2019 The Greenland ice sheet has been losing mass in response to increased surface melting (Khan et al. 2015; van den Broeke et al. 2017) as well as discharge of ice from marine terminating outlet glaciers (van den Broeke et al. 2009; Box et al. 2018).

Iceberg calving from the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2002 AbstractWe investigate the iceberg-calving cycle of the Amery Ice Shelf (AIS), East Antarctica, using evidence acquired between 1936 and 2000. The most recent major iceberg-calving event occurred between late 1963 and early 1964, when a large berg totalling about 10 000 km2 in area broke from the ice front.
