Glacier crevasses: Observations, models, and mass balance implications
We review the findings of approximately 60 years of in situ and remote sensing studies of
glacier crevasses, as well as the three broad classes of numerical models now employed to …

Antarctic ice shelf disintegration triggered by sea ice loss and ocean swell
Understanding the causes of recent catastrophic ice shelf disintegrations is a crucial step
towards improving coupled models of the Antarctic Ice Sheet and predicting its future state …

Vulnerability of Antarctica's ice shelves to meltwater-driven fracture
Atmospheric warming threatens to accelerate the retreat of the Antarctic Ice Sheet by
increasing surface melting and facilitating 'hydrofracturing',,,,,–, where meltwater flows into …

Antarctic ice shelf potentially stabilized by export of meltwater in surface river
Meltwater stored in ponds and crevasses can weaken and fracture ice shelves, triggering
their rapid disintegration. This ice-shelf collapse results in an increased flux of ice from …

Surface melt and ponding on Larsen C Ice Shelf and the impact of föhn winds
A common precursor to ice shelf disintegration, most notably that of Larsen B Ice Shelf, is
unusually intense or prolonged surface melt and the presence of surface standing water …

Kinematic first-order calving law implies potential for abrupt ice-shelf retreat
Recently observed large-scale disintegration of Antarctic ice shelves has moved their fronts
closer towards grounded ice. In response, ice-sheet discharge into the ocean has …

[HTML][HTML] Massive subsurface ice formed by refreezing of ice-shelf melt ponds
Surface melt ponds form intermittently on several Antarctic ice shelves. Although implicated
in ice-shelf break up, the consequences of such ponding for ice formation and ice-shelf …

[HTML][HTML] Damage detection on antarctic ice shelves using the normalised radon transform
M Izeboud, S Lhermitte - Remote Sensing of Environment, 2023 - Elsevier
Areas of structural damage mechanically weaken Antarctic ice shelves. This potentially
