Diverse calving patterns linked to glacier geometry

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

Iceberg calving—implicated in the retreat of ice shelves—is a complex process constrained by few observations. Numerical simulations suggest that the pattern of iceberg calving is controlled by the geometry of the glacier, and that regions of Greenland and Antarctica may be particularly vulnerable to catastrophic calving-driven retreat.
