This process, for most glaciers, takes over a hundred years. Plucking – sometimes rocks get frozen to the base, sides and back wall of the glacier. The movement of the glacier pulls these frozen ...
Co-author Jonathan Bamber, Professor of Glaciology at the University of Bristol, said: "Glacier calving is a poorly modelled and understood process that plays a crucial role in the health of a ...
A long process, the researchers said, that's essential for more accurate models of temperate glacier ice and better predictions of glacier flow and sea-level rise. More information: Collin M.
