the deepening of crevasses by surface meltwater until they penetrate an ice shelf, proposed as the mechanism of rapid ice shelf break-up in a warming climate.

In sea-level and cryosphere science, meltwater-driven hydrofracture refers to the deepening of crevasses by surface meltwater until they penetrate an ice shelf, proposed as the mechanism of rapid ice shelf break-up in a warming climate. This meaning comes from Scambos (2000) in Journal of Glaciology.[1]
