The control of short-term ice mélange weakening episodes on calving activity at major Greenland outlet glaciers
<p>The dense mixture of iceberg of various sizes and sea ice observed in many of Greenland's fjords, called ice mélange (<i>sikussak</i> in Greenlandic), has been shown to have a significant impact on the dynamics of several Greenland tidewater glaciers, mainly through the sea...
