SYNOPTIC OBSERVATIONS OF CALVING EVENTS IN ANTARCTICA USING SPACEBORNE IMAGES [PDF]
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
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
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
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.

A physically based calving model applied to marine outlet glaciers and implications for the glacier dynamics [PDF]
We present results from numerical ice-flow models that include calving criteria based on penetration of surface and basal crevasses, which in turn is a function of longitudinal strain rates near the glacier front.

Calving rates at tidewater glaciers vary strongly with ocean temperature [PDF]
TerraSAR-X data were provided by DLR (project OCE1503), and funded by the Conoco Phillips-Lundin Northern Area Program through the CRIOS project (Calving Rates and Impact on Sea level). A.L. and S.B.

Surveying a Floating Iceberg With the USV SEADRAGON
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 ...

A particle based simulation model for glacier dynamics [PDF]
A particle-based computer simulation model was developed for investigating the dynamics of glaciers. In the model, large ice bodies are made of discrete elastic particles which are bound together by massless elastic beams.

Semi-automated open water iceberg detection from Landsat applied to Disko Bay, West Greenland
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.
