An Estimate of the Flux of Iceberg Calving from Greenland

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 1999
Using several relationships between calving velocity and physical parameters at the glacier's entry to the ocean, estimates are made of the iceberg flux from the Greenland ice sheet. The flux from each major glacier is estimated, leading to total iceberg fluxes of 170-270 Tkg yr-~.

Tsunami [PDF]

This lesson plan is part of the DiscoverySchool.com lesson plan library for grades 6-8. It focuses on tsunamis and the destruction they can cause. Students design experiments to view the two types of tsunamis (fjord and ocean) and view the different wave

Calving as a Source of Acute and Persistent Kinetic Energy to Enhance Submarine Melting of Tidewater Glaciers

Geophysical Research Letters
Calving icebergs at tidewater glaciers release large amounts of potential energy. This energy—in principle—could be a source for submarine melting, which scales with near‐terminus water temperature and velocity.

Million years of Greenland Ice Sheet history recorded in ocean sediments [PDF]

, 2011
Geological records from Tertiary and Quaternary terrestrial and oceanic sections have documented the presence of ice caps and sea ice covers both in the Southern and the Northern hemispheres since Eocene times, approximately since 45 Ma.
