🏔️ Proglacial Lake: Calving Front, Meltwater Plume and Turbidity

Watch a glacier calve into a turquoise lake: depth-driven calving and flotation, degree-day meltwater, glacial-flour plumes that settle by Stokes' law, lake level over a weir and Secchi depth. Change warming, particle size and calving to see the front retreat.
