Greenland Fjory Passive Acoustic Data, Saqardleq fjord, West Greenland, 2013
Predictions of future sea level rise depend on accurate estimates of the rate at which ice sheets deliver fresh water and ice to the oceans. These estimates are provided by models, which, in turn, depend on our understanding of iceberg calving, among other processes. Due to a lack of observations, o...
