undergo seasonal cycles in glacier calving—when large chunks of ice break away due to higher ocean and air temperatures. Lead author Dr. Tian Li, Senior Research Associate at the University's ...

This is a developing story. A warning about a sizeable collapse of the Mendenhall Glacier, following active calving recently and a large crack on its face, was issued by the U.S. Forest Service on ...

But gathering data from the leading edge of a glacier — aka its calving front — isn’t easy. Massive chunks of ice the size of small buildings can break off and crash into the ocean without warning, ...

The highlight of the tour was watching glaciers calving. Calving is when large chunks of ice fall off or break off of the edge of a glacier. The captain and ranger both said this was extremely ...

A similar thing can happen with real glaciers. When their edges break off and fall into the ocean, it’s known as calving. These pieces of glaciers are called icebergs.

Here, aboard a luxury cruise, witness the grandeur of glaciers calving: a spectacle where huge chunks of glacial ice cascade into the water below. It’s a performance millions of years in the ...

The William Glacier typically has one or two large calving events per year, and the team estimated this one broke off around 78,000 square meters of ice – around the area of 10 football pitches ...

Assuming that ice–ocean interactions within Greenland fjords are a key element of ice-sheet activity, we propose that acoustic detection and monitoring of glacier calving in fjords is feasible ...

every day of the year. Much of the melt is occurring at several “hot spots,” where glaciers flow into the sea. Helheim Glacier is the fastest flowing glacier along Greenland’s eastern edge.

Perito Moreno Glacier, situated in Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina, is one of the most accessible glaciers in ...

The glacier's ice is calving, meaning large chunks are falling off and plummeting into the water. One of these icebergs could have damaged their inflatable canoe or knocked them into the water.
