- Recently scientists became more certain that the Greenland ice sheet is melting and breaking apart at an alarming rate, and the break-up has accelerated over the last few years. However, the causes of the accelerated iceberg calving rate remained unclear. This paper exploits nonlinear system identification techniques, combined with coupled ocean iceberg modelling, to identify for the first time the causes of the calving. These findings were central to the award of a new NERC grant (NE/V001787/1, 04/01/2021-30/03/2023, £650,032).
