Greenland iceberg melt variability from high-resolution satellite observations [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2018
Iceberg discharge from the Greenland Ice Sheet accounts for up to half of the freshwater flux to surrounding fjords and ocean basins, yet the spatial distribution of iceberg meltwater fluxes is poorly understood.

Mass Loss From Thwaites Glacier Continues Even Without Ocean Melting

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Pine Island and Thwaites glaciers dominate Antarctica's sea‐level contribution. However, it remains unclear whether their ice loss is driven by anomalously warm present‐day ocean conditions, perhaps linked to anthropogenic climate change, or are an ongoing response to historical natural climate anomalies.

Dynamic Migratory Strategies and Foraging Habitats of Southern Right Whales Revealed by Satellite Telemetry

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Satellite‐linked tags on 34 southern right whales revealed basin‐scale movements and foraging concentrated in the ACC, Crozet Islands, Benguela system, and the highly variable seasonal ice zone. Environmental modelling revealed environmental drivers behind foraging decisions, and identified key ecosystems.

A Transient Coupled Ice Flow‐Damage Model to Simulate Iceberg Calving From Tidewater Outlet Glaciers

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.

Unveiling human–wildlife interactions in the context of livestock grazing abandonment and the return of large carnivores, ungulates and vultures: A stakeholder perspective

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2078-2090, July 2026.
Abstract Pastoral practices remain a widespread economic activity across European mountain regions. However, the viability of this activity may be threatened by the recovery of large wild vertebrates associated with passive rewilding, leading to the so‐called human–wildlife conflicts.

Tidewater glacier response to individual calving events

Journal of Glaciology, 2022
Tidewater glaciers have been observed to experience instantaneous, stepwise increases in velocity during iceberg-calving events due to a loss of resistive stresses.

The Impact of Subglacial Drainage System Evolution and Glacier Lake Outburst on Arctic Fjord Macronutrient Dynamics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Global warming is amplified in the Arctic, accelerating glacier melt and freshwater runoff. At tidewater glaciers, runoff typically enters fjords at depth and generates buoyancy‐driven circulation that enhances glacier‐ocean exchanges of energy and matter, influencing macronutrient delivery and marine primary production.

Calving laws and where to find them

Journal of Glaciology
Calving from tidewater glaciers and ice shelves is an important component of global mass balance and may contribute significantly to future sea-level rise.

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.

Emergent Dynamics From a Position‐Based Calving Function and the Limits of a Rate‐Based Calving Function

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract A wide range of functions are currently available for simulating the calving of marine‐terminating glaciers, but there is no consensus on the best approach to represent the calving process in glacier and ice‐sheet models. Current assessments of calving functions are often crudely done by fitting functions to observed changes in terminus ...
