Calving of icebergs is an important component of mass loss from the polar ice sheets and
glaciers in many parts of the world. Calving rates can increase dramatically in response to …

With the increasing use of digital elevation models in palaeo-glacier reconstructions and the
availability of freeware spreadsheets the Area-Altitude Balance Ratio (AABR) and Balance …

Glaciers and Glaciation is the classic textbook for all students of glaciation. Stimulating and
accessible, it has established a reputation as a comprehensive and essential resource. In …

The continued retreat of ice shelves on the Antarctic Peninsula has been widely attributed to
recent atmospheric warming, but there is little published work describing changes in glacier …

The purpose of this study is to describe the current state of tidewater glaciers in Svalbard as
an extension of the inventory of Hagen et al.(1993). The ice masses of Svalbard cover an …

Several new data sets reveal that thinning and speedup of Jakobshavn Isbrae continue,
following its recent rapid increase in speed as its floating ice tongue disintegrated. The …

A large portion of the recent increase in the rate of mass loss from the Greenland ice sheet is
from increased outlet glacier discharge along its southeastern margin. While previous …

While it has been shown repeatedly that ocean conditions exhibit an important control on the
behaviour of grounded tidewater glaciers, modelling studies have focused largely on the …

Significant retreat of glaciers terminating in Hornsund Fjord (Southern Spitsbergen,
Svalbard) has been observed during the 20th century and in the first decade of the 21st …

Recent dramatic acceleration, thinning and retreat of tidewater outlet glaciers in Greenland
raises concern regarding their contribution to future sea-level rise. These dynamic changes …
