Numerical Modelling of Sediment Delivery from Tidewater Glaciers to the Marine Environment
… developed to simulate marine sedimentation from tidewater glaciers for the dominant transport processes of icebergrafting and glacial meltwater plumes. Icebergs calved from tidewater glaciers contain sediment, which is released as the icebergs melt. The SedBerg Model utilises Monte Carlo based …

The future of Narsap Sermia: Documenting the retreat of a tidewater glacier in Southwest Greenland
The behaviour of Greenland’s tidewater glaciers is crucial for the understanding of the Greenland Ice Sheet. The retreat of those marine-terminating glaciers has far-reaching implications, impacting not only the regional hydrography but also the diverse fjord ecosystems. Here, this study …

Inferring subglacial hydrology from investigations of supraglacial lake drainages and meltwater plumes at Store Glacier, West Greenland
… ice loss comes from dynamic ice loss from tidewater glaciers. Tidewater glaciers each have unique subglacial drainage systems and discharge meltwater into adjacent fjords differently. However, studies of the subglacial hydrology of individual tidewater glaciers have been limited, largely …
