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.

A Transient Coupled Ice Flow‐Damage Model to Simulate Iceberg Calving From Tidewater Outlet Glaciers [PDF]
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019 Iceberg calving, the detachment of an ice block at the glacier front, is the main process responsible for the dynamic mass loss from the ice sheets to the ocean.

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.

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 ...

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.

Rapid iceberg calving following removal of tightly packed pro-glacial mélange. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2019 Iceberg calving is a major contributor to Greenland’s ice mass loss. Pro-glacial mélange (a mixture of sea ice, icebergs, and snow) may be tightly packed in the long, narrow fjords that front many marine-terminating glaciers and can reduce calving by ...
