Record grounded glacier retreat caused by an ice plain calving process - Nature Geoscience An Antarctic glacier retreated after the loss of landfast ice at a peak rate almost an order of magnitude faster than previously recorded because of buoyancy-driven ice calving, according to an analys...

New article by APRI member, @drnaomio.bsky.social and colleagues!

👆 Main takeaway: ice plain bedrock geometry can drive rapid retreats of glaciers if they undergo dynamic thinning, and in this case after the loss of stabilizing fast ice in 2022.
