Glaciers play a crucial role in the Earth System: they are important water suppliers to lower‐
lying areas during hot and dry periods, and they are major contributors to the observed …

The variability of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets occurs on various timescales and is
important for projections of sea level rise; however, there are substantial uncertainties …

Abstract The Greenland Ice Sheet discharges ice to the ocean through hundreds of outlet
glaciers. Recent acceleration of Greenland outlet glaciers has been linked to both oceanic …

Quantifying the impact of submarine melting on calving is central to understanding the
response of marine‐terminating glaciers to ocean forcing. Modeling and observational …

Ice shelves play a key role in the dynamics of marine ice sheets by buttressing grounded ice
and limiting rates of ice flux to the oceans. In response to recent climatic and oceanic …

A major challenge within material science is the proper modeling of force transmission
through fragmenting materials under compression. A particularly demanding material is sea …

We investigate the physical basis of the crevasse-depth (CD) calving law by analysing
relationships between glaciological stresses and calving behaviour at Sermeq Kujalleq …

Ice mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet is the largest single contributor to sea-level rise
in the 21st century. The mass loss rate has accelerated in recent decades mainly due to …

A new calving algorithm is developed in the glacier model Elmer/Ice that allows unrestricted
calving and terminus advance in 3D. The algorithm uses the meshing software Mmg to …

Mass loss from iceberg calving at marine-terminating glaciers is one of the largest and most
poorly constrained contributors to sea-level rise. However, our understanding of the …
