The CalvingSEIS experiment

Når vi ser bort ifra Grønland og Antarktis, så kalver ca. 40 % av alle verdens isbreer. Denne dynamiske masseoverføringen fra isbre til hav er spesielt sensitiv til klima gjennom feedback-prosesser. I dagens bremodeller er det vanskelig å forutse realistisk istap relatert til brekalving. Dette er...
