Rates of ice mass loss at the calving margins of tidewater glaciers (frontal ablation rates) are
a key uncertainty in sea level rise projections. Measurements are difficult because mass lost
is replaced by ice flow at variable rates, and frontal ablation incorporates sub-aerial calving,
and submarine melt and calving. Here we derive frontal ablation rates for three dynamically
contrasting glaciers ...
