The Impact of Fronts and Eddies Under Various Melt Conditions on Antarctic Ice Shelves
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.Abstract Ocean eddies are observed beneath Antarctic ice shelves, yet their role in regulating basal melting remains unclear. We use nonhydrostatic Large‐Eddy Simulations that resolve eddies and boundary‐layer turbulence to examine a baroclinically unstable salinity front that breaks into eddies.

Gut Microbiota Differences in Wild Asian Elephants From Pu'er, China
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.This study compared the gut microbiota of two wild Asian elephant populations in Jiangcheng (JC) and Liushun (LS), Yunnan, China. Significant differences in microbial structure, diversity, and function were found. Across samples, 24 phyla, 48 classes, 98 orders, 164 families, 288 genera, and 351 species were annotated.

A Law for Small Scale, Continuous Calving [PDF]
, 2014 Ice shelves are formed by the viscous flow of inland ice into the ocean, they are floating and loosing mass by iceberg calving. There are two different kinds of calving: large tabular icebergs detach as singular events in time, and small scale calving ...

Patterns in glacial-earthquake activity around Greenland, 2011–13
Journal of Glaciology, 2017 Glacial earthquakes are caused by large iceberg calving events, which are an important mechanism for mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet. The number of glacial earthquakes in Greenland has increased sixfold over the past two decades.

Micro‐habitat selection by boreal woodland caribou improves access to food
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.Bio‐logging sensors attached to radiotelemetry receivers have great potential to transform our understanding of the ecological, physiological, and energetic constraints that shape patterns of wildlife movement under field conditions. We used video camera collars to assess microhabitat selectivity by woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus in boreal forests ...

Massive Antarctic Icebergs May Calve at Random
EosThe first analysis of extreme calving events in Antarctica finds no correlation with climate change, highlighting the significance of common, smaller calving events for ice loss and instability.

A viscoelastic phase-field model for iceberg calving
Iceberg calving accounts for around half of the ice lost annually from Antarctica, but realistic representation of fracture and calving in large-scale ice sheet models remains a major unsolved problem in glaciology. We present a new phase-field viscoelastic model for fracture that simulates the slow deformation of ice and the distribution and evolution

Seismicity, seawater and seasonality: new insights into iceberg calving from Yahtse Glacier, Alaska [PDF]
, 2013 Dissertation (Ph.D.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2013At many of the largest glaciers and ice sheets on Earth, more than half of the annual ice loss occurs through iceberg calving into the ocean. Calving is also responsible for the most rapid ice mass

Greenland Ice Sheet's Distinct Calving Styles Are Identified in Terminus Change Timeseries
Geophysical Research LettersAt least three primary iceberg calving styles have been identified in Greenland: serac collapse, which produces falling icebergs tens of meters in length; slab capsize, which produces rotating icebergs hundreds of meters in length; and tabular rifting ...
