Calving cycle of the Brunt Ice Shelf, Antarctica, driven by changes in ice shelf geometry

<p>Despite the potentially detrimental impact of large-scale calving events on the geometry and ice flow of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, little is known about the processes that drive rift formation prior to calving, or what controls the timing of these events. The Brunt Ice Shelf in East Antarcti...
