The aftermath of Petermann Glacier calving events (2008-2012):ice island size distributions and meltwater dispersal

Three large calving events occurred at Petermann Glacier in northwest Greenland between 2008 and 2012 that generated ice islands (large tabular icebergs) that ranged from ~30 to 300 km 2 in areal extent. Ice islands are known to deteriorate, via fracture and melt, during their drift through regional...
