IceLines – A new data set of Antarctic ice shelf front positions [PDF]
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.

A 15-year circum-Antarctic iceberg calving dataset derived from continuous satellite observations [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2021 Iceberg calving is the main process that facilitates the dynamic mass loss of ice sheets into the ocean, which accounts for approximately half of the mass loss of the Antarctic ice sheet.

BREAK OUT OF A-76 ICEBERG AND RECENT DYNAMIC CHANGES OF ITS ENCOLSURE RIFTS IN RONNE ICE SHELF, ANTARCTICA [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2022 Monitoring the stability of the Ronne Ice Shelf, particularly the calving event, is an integral and important part of the study of Antarctic ice sheet mass balance and sea-level rise. This paper presents the results of the analysis of the world’s largest

Automated ArcticDEM iceberg detection tool: insights into area and volume distributions, and their potential application to satellite imagery and modelling of glacier–iceberg–ocean systems [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Iceberg calving accounts for up to half of mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS), with their size distributions providing insights into glacier calving dynamics and impacting fjord environments through their melting and subsequent freshwater ...

Fragmentation theory reveals processes controlling iceberg size distributions
Journal of Glaciology, 2021 Iceberg calving strongly controls glacier mass loss, but the fracture processes leading to iceberg formation are poorly understood due to the stochastic nature of calving.

A glacier–ocean interaction model for tsunami genesis due to iceberg calving [PDF]
Communications Earth & Environment, 2021 AbstractGlaciers calving icebergs into the ocean significantly contribute to sea-level rise and can trigger tsunamis, posing severe hazards for coastal regions. Computational modeling of such multiphase processes is a great challenge involving complex solid–fluid interactions.

Identification of iceberg-forming ice quakes from seismic and infrasound data
Лëд и снег, 2021 The application of a joint method of recording seismic and infrasound signals generated during ice calving from the terminal part of the outlet glaciers to identify the process of iceberg formation is considered.

Automatic delineation of cracks with Sentinel-1 interferometry for monitoring ice shelf damage and calving [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Monitoring the evolution of ice shelf damage such as crevasses and rifts is important for a better understanding of the mechanisms controlling the breakup of ice shelves and for improving predictions about iceberg calving and ice shelf disintegration ...

A unifying framework for iceberg-calving models [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 2010 AbstractWe propose a general framework for iceberg-calving models that can be applied to any calving margin. The framework is based on mass continuity, the assumption that calving rate and terminus velocity are not independent and the simple idea that terminus thickness following a calving event is larger than terminus thickness at the event onset. The
