- W4254162371 abstract "Abstract Data from Columbia Glacier are used to identify processes that control calving from a temperate tidewater glacier and to re-evaluate models that have been proposed to describe iceberg calving. Since 1981, Columbia Glacier has been retreating rapidly, with an almost seven-fold increase in calving rate from the mid-1970s to 1993. At the same time, the speed of the glacier increased almost as much, so that the actual rate of retreat increased more slowly. According to the commonly accepted model, the calving rate is linearly related to the water depth at the terminus, with retreat of the glacier snout into deeper water, leading to larger calving rates and accelerated retreat. The Columbia Glacier data show that the calving rate is not simply linked to observed quantities such as water depth or stretching rate near the terminus. During the retreat, the thickness at the terminus appears to be linearly correlated with the water depth; at the terminus, the thickness in excess of flotation remained at about 50 m. This suggests that retreat may be initiated when the terminal thickness becomes too small, with the rate of retreat controlled by the rate at which the snout is thinning and by the basal slope. The implication is that the rapid retreat of Columbia Glacier (and other comparable tidewater glaciers) is not the result of an increase in calving as the glacier retreated into deeper water. Instead, the retreat was initiated and maintained by thinning of the glacier. For Columbia Glacier, the continued thinning is probably associated with the increase in glacier speed and retreat may be expected to continue as long as these large speeds are maintained. It is not clear what mechanism may be responsible for the speed-up but the most likely candidate is a change in basal conditions or subglacial drainage. Consequently, the behavior of tidewater glaciers may be controlled by processes acting at the glacier bed rather than by what happens at the glacier terminus." @default.
