Iceberg calving from the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 2002 AbstractWe investigate the iceberg-calving cycle of the Amery Ice Shelf (AIS), East Antarctica, using evidence acquired between 1936 and 2000. The most recent major iceberg-calving event occurred between late 1963 and early 1964, when a large berg totalling about 10 000 km2 in area broke from the ice front.

Brief communication: Rapid acceleration of the Brunt Ice Shelf after calving of iceberg A-81 [PDF]
The CryosphereThe Brunt Ice Shelf, Antarctica, accelerated rapidly from a velocity of 900 to 1500 m a−1 during 6 months, following calving of a 1500 km2 iceberg on 22 January 2023.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
