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 …

Avalanching glacier instabilities: Review on processes and early warning perspectives
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 …

A stress-based poro-damage phase field model for hydrofracturing of cree** glaciers and ice shelves
There is a need for computational models capable of predicting meltwater-assisted crevasse
growth in glacial ice. Mass loss from glaciers and ice sheets is the largest contributor to sea …

A Maxwell elasto-brittle rheology for sea ice modelling
A new rheological model is developed that builds on an elasto-brittle (EB) framework used
for sea ice and rock mechanics, with the intent of representing both the small elastic …

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 …

Short-and long-term variability of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets
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 …

Mechanisms leading to the 2016 giant twin glacier collapses, Aru Range, Tibet
In north-western Tibet (34.0∘ N, 82.2∘ E) near lake Aru Co, the entire ablation areas of two
glaciers (Aru-1 and Aru-2) suddenly collapsed on 17 July and 21 September 2016. The …

Are seasonal calving dynamics forced by buttressing from ice mélange or undercutting by melting? Outcomes from full-Stokes simulations of Store Glacier, West …
We use a full-Stokes 2-D model (Elmer/Ice) to investigate the flow and calving dynamics of
Store Glacier, a fast-flowing outlet glacier in West Greenland. Based on a new, subgrid-scale …

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 …
