      Abstract: Sea level rise and the input of fresh meltwater into northern latitudes are pressing concerns, motivating studies of the stability of marine-terminating glaciers. The logistical difficulties and outright dangers of working near a glacier terminus make remote sensing techniques for the study of terminus behavior especially important. Passive cryoacoustics – making use of the ambient soundscape to quantify ice-ocean interactions – show promise as a remote sensing technique for iceberg calving and terminus melting. Here we summarize progress in the development of these acoustic tools and describe recent accomplishments and ongoing challenges.
