Controls on Larsen C Ice Shelf Retreat From a 60-Year Satellite Data Record

Shujie Wang et al.

Summary: The rapid retreat of Larsen A and B ice shelves provides important clues for understanding the destabilization processes of ice shelves. By analyzing satellite images and conducting modeling experiments, this study reveals that rift-induced tabular iceberg calving and mechanical weakening due to rifts play significant roles in the retreat and instability of the largest remaining ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula, Larsen C. The findings emphasize the importance of considering the effects of rifts on ice rigidity in ice shelf models to accurately predict their dynamics and instability. The study also offers valuable insights into the historical and future destabilization of Antarctic ice shelves.

Effects of calving and submarine melting on steady states and stability of buttressed marine ice sheets

Marianne Haseloff et al.

Summary: Mass loss from ice shelves plays a crucial role in grounding-line dynamics. In this study, we examine how calving and submarine melt parameterizations affect steady-state grounding-line positions and their stability. We find that different calving laws with the same melt parameterization result in more diverse steady-state ice-sheet configurations than different melt parameterizations with the same calving law. The backstress at the grounding line depends on the integrated ice-shelf mass flux, making ice shelves most susceptible to high melt rates near their grounding lines. Additionally, different melt parameterizations can lead to significant variations in ice-shelf configurations and grounding-line positions even with the same shelf-averaged melt rates. Our results emphasize the importance of ice-shelf mass loss mechanisms in the evolution of marine ice sheets and highlight the significant impact of existing parameterizations on simulated grounding-line behaviors.

Antarctic calving loss rivals ice-shelf thinning

Chad A. Greene et al.

Summary: Antarctica's ice shelves play a crucial role in controlling global sea-level rise. However, new research reveals that these ice shelves have experienced significant net loss and are unable to fully recover. The retreat and thinning of the ice shelves have resulted in a larger impact on sea-level rise than previously estimated.

Physical processes controlling the rifting of Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctica, prior to the calving of iceberg A68

E. Larour et al.

Summary: Research has shown that ice shelf thinning does not reactivate rifts, but rather heals them; on the other hand, thinning of the ice melange encasing preexisting rifts controls the opening rate of the rift, with an above-linear dependence on thinning.

A poro-damage phase field model for hydrofracturing of glacier crevasses

Xiangming Sun et al.

Summary: This study introduces a novel poro-damage phase field model for hydrofracturing of glacier crevasses and demonstrates its excellent performance in simulating surface crevasse propagation and cliff failure in glacier terminus regions. The model's applicability for studying glaciers' dynamic response to atmospheric warming is highlighted by comparing its predictions to analytical solutions in linear elastic fracture mechanics.

A Generalized Interpolation Material Point Method for Shallow Ice Shelves. 2: Anisotropic Nonlocal Damage Mechanics and Rift Propagation

Alex Huth et al.

Summary: The study introduces a new creep damage model for investigating ice shelf fracture processes, applied within a large-scale shallow-shelf ice flow model. It was found that anisotropic damage better replicates observed fracture patterns, while the creep damage model is more suitable for capturing weakening and rifting over shorter timescales. Combining a comprehensive approach between models may best represent mechanical weakening and tabular calving in long-term simulations.

A Generalized Interpolation Material Point Method for Shallow Ice Shelves. 1: Shallow Shelf Approximation and Ice Thickness Evolution

Alex Huth et al.

Summary: The Generalized Interpolation Material Point Method (GIMPM) is developed for solving the shallow shelf approximation (SSA) of ice flow, introducing novel numerical schemes for accurate simulation of ice shelf spreading. The GIMPM-SSA framework allows for efficient advection of variables, automated boundary tracking, and error-free advection, demonstrating numerical accuracy and stability in benchmark examples. Comparisons with the standard material point methods show that GIMPM successfully mitigates grid-crossing errors, making it a viable option for ice sheet-shelf evolution simulations.
