Glacier dynamics
Modelling the impact of submarine frontal melting and ice mélange on glacier dynamics
... Several attempts have been made to incorporate frontal melting and the ice mélange back force in ice flow mod- els. In particular, the relation between calving and undercut- ting was investigated by Vieli et al. (2002), ...
