Equation for water-depth calving model
Brown 1982
Crevasse-depth calving model
Benn et al 2007
Ice discharge increases with water depth b/c greater space for ice to flow through and claving/flotation rate higher
Weertman 1973
If bed deepens inland, catastrophic ‘unstable’ retreat can potentially occur
Thomas 1979 and others
