Avalanching glacier instabilities: Review on processes and early warning perspectives
J Faillettaz, M Funk, C Vincent - Reviews of Geophysics, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Avalanching glacier instabilities are gravity‐driven rupture phenomena that might cause
major disasters, especially when they are at the origin of a chain of processes. Reliably …

Glacier calving in Greenland
In combination, the breakaway of icebergs (calving) and submarine melting at marine-
terminating glaciers account for between one third and one half of the mass annually …

Coastal sea level rise with warming above 2 C
Two degrees of global warming above the preindustrial level is widely suggested as an
appropriate threshold beyond which climate change risks become unacceptably high. This …

Ocean-driven thinning enhances iceberg calving and retreat of Antarctic ice shelves
Iceberg calving from all Antarctic ice shelves has never been directly measured, despite
playing a crucial role in ice sheet mass balance. Rapid changes to iceberg calving naturally …

Calving rates at tidewater glaciers vary strongly with ocean temperature
Rates of ice mass loss at the calving margins of tidewater glaciers (frontal ablation rates) are
a key uncertainty in sea level rise projections. Measurements are difficult because mass lost …

Marine ice-cliff instability modeling shows mixed-mode ice-cliff failure and yields calving rate parameterization
Marine ice-cliff instability could accelerate ice loss from Antarctica, and according to some
model predictions could potentially contribute> 1 m of global mean sea level rise by 2100 at …

Melt-under-cutting and buoyancy-driven calving from tidewater glaciers: new insights from discrete element and continuum model simulations
The simple calving laws currently used in ice-sheet models do not adequately reflect the
complexity and diversity of calving processes. To be effective, calving laws must be …
