Abstract: Predictions of future sea level rise are currently hindered by our limited understanding of how ice is transferred to the ocean. Here, new techniques in time-lapse photogrammetry are used to simultaneously examine several aspects that control this transfer at Kronebreen, a fast-flowing tidewater glacier in Svalbard. Detailed records of calving activity, surface lake drainage and meltwater plume extent suggest that a change in the rate of transfer is initiated by a glacier-wide hydrological flushing event at the beginning of the summer melt season.
