An Intensive Observation of Calving at Helheim Glacier, East Greenland

An Intensive Observation of Calving at Helheim Glacier, East Greenland

Calving of glacial ice into the ocean from the Greenland Ice Sheet is an important component of global sea level rise. The calving process itself is relatively poorly observed, understood, and modeled; as such, it represents a bottleneck in improving future global sea level estimates in climate mode...
