Automatic Extraction of the Calving Front of Pine Island Glacier Based on Neural Network
Remote Sensing, 2023 Calving front location plays a crucial role in studying ice–ocean interaction, mapping glacier area change, and constraining ice dynamic models. However, relying solely on visual interpretation to extract annual changes in the calving front of ice ...

The instantaneous impact of calving and thinning on the Larsen C Ice Shelf [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 The Antarctic Peninsula has seen rapid and widespread changes in the extent of its ice shelves in recent decades, including the collapse of the Larsen A and B ice shelves in 1995 and 2002, respectively.

A Law for Small Scale, Continuous Calving [PDF]
, 2014 Ice shelves are formed by the viscous flow of inland ice into the ocean, they are floating and loosing mass by iceberg calving. There are two different kinds of calving: large tabular icebergs detach as singular events in time, and small scale calving ...

Finite Element Analysis of Calving From Ice Fronts [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1982 The Antarctic ice sheet has almost no net annual ablation on its surface, so most mass losses are by iceberg calving along its perimeter, which may be either grounded in shallow water or floating in deep water. An ice cliff forms along the perimeter in both cases.

IceLines – A new data set of Antarctic ice shelf front positions
Scientific Data, 2023 The frontal position of an ice shelf is an important parameter for ice dynamic modelling, the computation of mass fluxes, mapping glacier area change, calculating iceberg production rates and the estimation of ice discharge to the ocean.

The ice dynamic and melting response of Pine Island Ice Shelf to calving
Annals of Glaciology, 2022 Sea level rise contributions from Pine Island Glacier (PIG) are strongly modulated by the backstress that its floating extension – Pine Island Ice Shelf (PIIS) – exerts on the adjoining grounded ice. The front of PIIS has recently retreated significantly via calving, and satellite and theoretical analyses have suggested further retreat is inevitable ...

Dynamic jamming of iceberg-choked fjords [PDF]
, 2014 We investigate the dynamics of ice mélange by analyzing rapid motion recorded by a time-lapse camera and terrestrial radar during several calving events that occurred at Jakobshavn Isbræ, Greenland. During calving events (1) the kinetic energy of the ice

Efficient Location and Extraction of the Iceberg Calved Areas of the Antarctic Ice Shelves
Remote Sensing, 2020 Continuous, rapid, and precise monitoring of calving events contributes to an in-depth understanding of calving mechanisms, which have the potential to cause significant mass loss from the Antarctic ice sheet.
