Iceberg calving event is one of the main processes that removes mass from ice shelves. The large iceberg calving events are a part of the natural cycle, where the frontal portion exceeds beyond its embayment wall and then results into retreat, this process is known as iceberg calving. The calving events are necessary to maintain the mass balance of the ice sheet, which is more frequent in response to atmosphere and ocean warming1. Iceberg calving from ice shelves and glacier tongues might be caused by the impact of ocean waves of various types2.Full Text

In this study, we assessed the glacier stored water (1,620 ± 340 Gt) using a combination of ice dynamics modelling and volume–area scaling method and estimated glacier mass loss (6.4%) from 2001 to 2013 for the Indus River basin. Results indicate that the impact of climate change is not uniform across the basin, especially the stark difference between the Western Himalayan region where the glaciers are losing mass at the rate of –0.56 ± 0.27 m.w.e. per annum and the Upper Indus where the loss is at –0.18 ± 0.11 m.w.e. per annum.Keywords
