Antarctic petrels ‘on the ice rocks’: wintering strategy of an Antarctic seabird [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 There is a paucity of information on the foraging ecology, especially individual use of sea-ice features and icebergs, over the non-breeding season in many seabird species. Using geolocators and stable isotopes, we defined the movements, distribution and

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance The stability of Antarctica and its contribution to sea-level rise are determined by the evolution of its ice shelves, which are vast expanses of floating ice that buttress the continent.

SAR Ship-Iceberg Discrimination in Arctic Conditions Using Deep Learning
Remote Sensing, 2022 Maritime surveillance of the Arctic region is of growing importance as shipping, fishing and tourism are increasing due to the sea ice retreat caused by global warming. Ships that do not identify themselves with a transponder system, so-called dark ships,

Wind-driven upwelling around grounded tabular icebergs [PDF]
, 2016 Funding was provided by NSF Polar Programs - Grant Number: ARC-1304137.Temperature and salinity data collected around grounded tabular icebergs in Baffin Bay in 2011, 2012 and 2013 indicate wind-induced upwelling at certain locations around the icebergs.

A glacier–ocean interaction model for tsunami genesis due to iceberg calving
Communications Earth & Environment, 2021 Glaciers calving icebergs into the ocean significantly contribute to sea-level rise and can trigger tsunamis, posing severe hazards for coastal regions.

Multi-Agent Simulation of Iceberg Mass Loss during Its Energy-Efficient Towing for Freshwater Supply
Energies, 2021 The problem of freshwater deficit in the last decade has progressed, not only in Africa or Asia, but also in European countries. One of the possible solutions is to obtain freshwater from drifting icebergs.

Timing of iceberg scours and massive ice-rafting events in the subtropical North Atlantic
Nature Communications, 2021 High resolution seafloor mapping shows extraordinary evidence that massive (>300 m thick) icebergs once drifted >5,000 km south along the eastern United States, with >700 iceberg scours now identified south of Cape Hatteras.
