Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the application for renewal of authorisation of zinc bislysinate as a feed additive for all animal species.

Glacio-limnological interactions at lake-calving glaciers
Iceberg calving is an efficient ablation process which introduces mechanical instability to glacier systems and can cause non-linear climatic response.

Seismicity, seawater and seasonality: new insights into iceberg calving from Yahtse Glacier, Alaska [PDF]
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

Calving Dynamics and the Potential Impact of Mélange Buttressing at the Western Calving Front of Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica [PDF]
The western region of the wide Thwaites Glacier terminus is characterized by a near-vertical calving front. The grounding line at this western calving front (WCF) rests on a relatively high ridge, behind which exists a reverse-sloping bed; retreat of the

Patterns in glacial-earthquake activity around Greenland, 2011–13
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.

Ecological consequences of a massive iceberg calving in Antarctica
Dans le cadre de la théorie d'évolution des traits d'histoire de vie, l'allocation de l'énergie aux différentes fonctions des organismes au cours des différentes activités clés de leur cycle annuel revêt un caractère essentiel. Ainsi, la stratégie énergétique d'un animal longévif doit lui permettre de faire face aux contraintes extrêmes imposées par l ...

Antarctic Meltwater‐Stratification Feedback Is Less Pronounced Under High Climate Forcing
Abstract Several studies have shown sub‐surface warming in the Southern Ocean via an increase in meltwater flux from the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), which can lead to a positive feedback through enhanced basal melting. In this study, we investigate how the feedback strength is related to the prevailing climate in a coupled climate–ice‐sheet model.

Processes of crevasse formation and the dynamics of calving glaciers : a study at Breiđamerkurjökull
A new model proposed by Benn et al. (2006, 2007) explains the dynamics of calving glaciers based on a new sliding law and a calving criterion modified from a crevasse depth model. In this thesis three key elements of this model are tested: 1) the role

Iceberg calving dynamics of Jakobshavn Isbræ, Greenland [PDF]
Thesis (Ph.D.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2010Jakobshavn Isbræ, a fast-flowing outlet glacier in West Greenland, began a rapid retreat in the late 1990's.

I apply a suite of seismic techniques to investigate iceberg calving at large glaciers around Greenland. Iceberg calving accounts for up to half of the Greenland Ice Sheet's annual mass loss, which makes understanding the physics of the calving process ...
