SYNOPTIC OBSERVATIONS OF CALVING EVENTS IN ANTARCTICA USING SPACEBORNE IMAGES [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018 Iceberg calving is the detachment of ice from ice shelves or glaciers. Although calving is a natural phenomenon, an abnormal rate of calving can be a threat to ice shelves.

Parameterizing Tabular‐Iceberg Decay in an Ocean Model
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022 Large tabular icebergs account for the majority of ice mass calved from Antarctic ice shelves, but are omitted from climate models. Specifically, these models do not account for iceberg breakup and as a result, modeled large icebergs could drift to low ...

Two Calving Laws for Grounded Iceberg-Calving Glaciers (Abstract only) [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1983 Prediction of the future retreat of Columbia Glacier, Alaska, required a calving law for the boundary condition at the terminus. Qualitative observations on the variations of all major iceberg-calving glaciers of Alaska suggest that calving is high whenever glaciers terminate in deep water, and greatly reduced whenever they ...

Crevasse advection increases glacier calving
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Iceberg calving, the process where icebergs detach from glaciers, remains poorly understood. Moreover, few parameterizations of the calving process can easily be integrated into numerical models to accurately capture observations, resulting in large ...

Calving cycle of Ninnis Glacier over the last 60 years
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021 Iceberg calving is one of the contributing ways for the mass loss from ice shelves in Antarctica; the calving cycles of most ice shelves are quite long.

Buoyant forces promote tidewater glacier iceberg calving through large basal stress concentrations [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 Iceberg calving parameterisations currently implemented in ice sheet models do not reproduce the full observed range of calving behaviours. For example, though buoyant forces at the ice front are known to trigger full-depth calving events on major ...

Surveying a Floating Iceberg With the USV SEADRAGON
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The calving, drifting, and melting of icebergs has local, regional, and global implications. Besides the impacts to local ecosystems due to changes in seawater salinity and temperature, the freshwater influx and transport can have significant regional ...

Ice shelf calving due to shear stresses: observing the response of Brunt Ice Shelf and Halloween Crack to iceberg calving using ICESat-2 laser altimetry, satellite imagery, and ice flow models [PDF]
The CryosphereFull-thickness ice shelf fractures, known as rifts, create tabular icebergs that can reduce ice shelf extent and thereby jeopardize overall marine ice sheet stability.

Semi-automated open water iceberg detection from Landsat applied to Disko Bay, West Greenland
Journal of Glaciology, 2019 Changes in Greenland's marine-terminating outlet glaciers have led to changes in the flux of icebergs into Greenland's coastal waters, yet icebergs remain a relatively understudied component of the ice-ocean system.
