Processes and feedbacks associated with iceberg calving and subaqueous terminus morphology, Tasman/Haupapa Glacier, New Zealand. [PDF]
Global deglaciation is increasing the number of glaciers that are forming or have formed proglacial lake. Deglaciation is also changing the size of proglacial lakes in temperate settings, resulting in more glaciers losing mass via iceberg calving.

Abstract Glacial‐interglacial cycles increased in length from about 41 to 100 thousand years during the Middle Pleistocene Transition (MPT) about 1.5 to 0.8 million years ago. This took place in step with strong global cooling after several million years of weaker cooling.

Abstract Sea ice is situated close to the termini of many outlet glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic and has the potential to influence their dynamics and, therefore, their contribution to sea level rise. However, the nature, prevalence, and ice‐dynamic significance of sea ice‐glacier interactions remains subject to several open questions.

Freshwater flux from ice sheet melting and iceberg calving in the Southern Ocean [PDF]
This dataset is a multiyear mean Southern Ocean freshwater flux field that uses recently compiled measurements of ice sheet melting, iceberg calving, iceberg tracking, and river runoff.

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

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ungulate body fat reserves reflect the nutritional environment, often serving as a useful indicator of bottom‐up resource availability. However, body fat reserves also integrate energetic costs associated with avoiding predation risk and reproductive effort, and it is ...

ABSTRACT Southern right whale (Eubalaena australis; SRW) populations are recovering from the impacts of commercial whaling, however, recovery has been spatially variable, with strong associations between reproduction and prey availability. The diet of SRWs has not been widely examined, and with SRW foraging shifting away from high‐latitude foraging ...

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

Glacier monitoring using real-aperture 94 GHz radar
Close-range sensors are employed to observe glaciological processes that operate over short timescales (e.g. iceberg calving, glacial lake outburst floods, diurnal surface melting).
