calvingfronten
Calvingfronten, or the calving front, is the terminus of a tidewater glacier where ice breaks off to form icebergs. It marks the boundary between the glacier that flows from land and the floating ice or iceberg-laden edge in contact with the ocean. Calving fronts can retreat, advance, or remain relatively stable depending on the balance between ice flow from upstream, calving losses, and melting at the front.
Calving dynamics are influenced by both internal glacier dynamics and external forcing. Subglacial topography and fjord
Observation and monitoring of calving fronts rely on remote sensing and field surveys. Satellite imagery and
