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.

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.

Viscous and elastic buoyancy stresses as drivers of ice-shelf calving
Journal of Glaciology, 2020 The Antarctic Ice Sheet loses mass via its ice shelves predominantly through two processes: basal melting and iceberg calving. Iceberg calving is episodic and infrequent, and not well parameterized in ice-sheet models.

Observational constraints on the sensitivity of two calving glaciers to external forcings
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Future mass loss projections of the Greenland ice sheet require understanding of the processes at a glacier terminus, especially of iceberg calving.

Monitoring Greenland ice sheet buoyancy-driven calving discharge using glacial earthquakes
Annals of Glaciology, 2019 Since the 2000s, Greenland ice sheet mass loss has been accelerating, followed by increasing numbers of glacial earthquakes (GEs) at near-grounded glaciers. GEs are caused by calving of km-scale icebergs which capsize against the terminus. Seismic record

Distinguishing subaerial and submarine calving with underwater noise
Journal of Glaciology, 2022 Iceberg calving is one of the major mechanisms of ice loss from tidewater glaciers and ice sheets, but obtaining accurate estimates of ice discharge that are both continuous and accurate is a challenging task.
