A simple mechanism for irreversible tidewater glacier retreat (2007, methodology): “Such a formulation has been proposed by Benn et al. [2007] .”
Ocean regulation hypothesis for glacier dynamics in southeast Greenland and implications for ice sheet mass changes (2010, background): “Additional meltwater feeding into crevasses close to the glacier margin may also result in higher calving rates [Benn et al., 2007].”
Kinematic first-order calving law implies potential for abrupt ice-shelf retreat (2011, methodology): “The calving law has been applied in simulations of the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet (Martin et al., 2011) where it10 produces a realistic ice front for all major ice shelves.”
