Amery Ice Shelf (AIS) in East Antarctica acts as the primary buttress for the largest reservoir of potential sea level rise in the region: the Lambert-Amery Basin. Iceberg calving is an important mass loss process for ice shelf systems and is one of the ways that an ice shelf loses mass. While calvi...
