Wave-induced erosion and notch development at the Fimbul Ice Shelf front
Wenjun Lu, Lotte Wendt, Behnam Ghadimi +8
Ocean waves erode the waterline of Antarctic ice-shelf fronts and carve a thermo-erosional notch. The notch is hidden from satellites, yet it preconditions front collapse and footl…

Theoretical development of an operational wave-induced ice erosion model through laboratory experiments
Wenjun Lu, Behnam Ghadimi, Dominique Mouaze +6
Wave-induced melting of vertical ice fronts is represented in several operational iceberg and coastal-erosion models by the rough-wall parameterization of White (1980), whose closu…

How Do Ice Shelves Calve? Peridynamic Modeling of Ice Shelf Fracture Driven by Wave Erosion, Basal Melting, and Buoyancy Flexure
Ying Song, Xuan Hu, Jingrui Xu +4
An ice shelf is a floating extension of a land-based ice sheet into the ocean. It plays a crucial role in slowing down the flow of land ice into the sea, thus stabilizing the ice s…
