Entry: iceberg calving induced tsunami

URI: https://registry.epos-eu.org/ncl/FAIR-Incubator/tcs-TSU/93

Iceberg calving is one of the main contributors to ice sheet mass balance and is responsible for most of the mass loss of the largest Earth's ice sheets (Antarctica, Greenland). It consists in the sudden deatchment of an iceberg from a glacier front due to a fracture. Iceberg calving can occur bith above and below sea level. Gravity and buoyancy are the main driving forces that determine the way the iceberg moves into the water and excites tsunami waves (tyically a combination of vertical movements, capsizing and overturning).
