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.

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.

Detailed Lacustrine Calving Iceberg Inventory from Very High Resolution Optical Imagery and Object-Based Image Analysis [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2020 In the field of iceberg and glacier calving studies, it is important to collect comprehensive datasets of populations of icebergs. Particularly, calving of lake-terminating glaciers has been understudied.

An Estimate of the Flux of Iceberg Calving from Greenland [PDF]
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-~.

A century of variation in the dependence of Greenland iceberg calving on ice sheet surface mass balance and regional climate change. [PDF]
Proc Math Phys Eng Sci, 2014 Iceberg calving is a major component of the total mass balance of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS). A century-long record of Greenland icebergs comes from the International Ice Patrol's record of icebergs (I48N) passing latitude 48° N, off Newfoundland ...

Iceberg calving from a Canadian Arctic tidewater glacier
, 2011 Time lapse imagery, an audio recorder and geophones were used to detect iceberg calving events on the Belcher Glacier, Devon Island, in the Canadian High Arctic, in order to identify the major controls on the rate and style of calving. Eleven calving events were identified between June 4th and August 14th 2009 which accounted for 44% of the annual ...

A viscoelastic phase-field model for iceberg calving
Iceberg calving accounts for around half of the ice lost annually from Antarctica, but realistic representation of fracture and calving in large-scale ice sheet models remains a major unsolved problem in glaciology. We present a new phase-field viscoelastic model for fracture that simulates the slow deformation of ice and the distribution and evolution

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.

The integrated ice sheet response to stochastic iceberg calving
Journal of GlaciologyIceberg calving is a major source of ice loss from the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. However, it is still one of the most poorly understood aspects of ice sheet dynamics, in part due to its variability at a wide range of spatial and temporal scales.
