Abstract
In 2007, the terminus of Columbia Glacier, a tidewater glacier in Alaska, became ungrounded and began floating. Columbia is now the only known floating Alaskan tidewater glacier. A new study analyzed the glacier's changing calving (iceberg release) behavior during the transition from grounded to floating.
