Controls on calving at a large Greenland tidewater glacier: stress regime, self-organised criticality and the crevasse-depth calving law (2023)
Journal Article
Benn, D. I., Todd, J., Luckman, A., Bevan, S., Chudley, T. R., Åström, J., …Christoffersen, P. (2023). Controls on calving at a large Greenland tidewater glacier: stress regime, self-organised criticality and the crevasse-depth calving law. Journal of Glaciology, 1-16. https://doi.org/10.1017/jog.2023.81

We investigate the physical basis of the crevasse-depth (CD) calving law by analysing relationships between glaciological stresses and calving behaviour at Sermeq Kujalleq (Store Glacier), Greenland. Our observations and model simulations show that t...

Atlantic water intrusion triggers rapid retreat and regime change at previously stable Greenland glacier (2023)
Journal Article
Chudley, T., Howat, I., King, M., & Negrete, A. (2023). Atlantic water intrusion triggers rapid retreat and regime change at previously stable Greenland glacier. Nature Communications, 14(1), Article 2151. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-37764-7

Ice discharge from Greenland’s marine-terminating glaciers contributes to half of all mass loss from the ice sheet, with numerous mechanisms proposed to explain their retreat. Here, we examine K.I.V Steenstrups Nordre Bræ (‘Steenstrup’) in Southeast... Read More about Atlantic water intrusion triggers rapid retreat and regime change at previously stable Greenland glacier.
