“Per si muove—it was a mass of moonstone”: Fluidity, Dynamic Relations, and the Commodification of Storytelling in Harriet Prescott Spofford’s Arctic Writings

open access: yesEuropean Journal of American Studies, 2019
The essay examines Harriet Prescott Spofford’s short story “The Moonstone Mass” (1868) through the lens of fluidity foregrounded by her Arctic poem “The Story of the Iceberg” (1897).

The International Ice Charting Working Group: the first twenty-five years

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Since 1999, the International Ice Charting Working Group (IICWG) has successfully worked as a forum for the operational ice services and helped them to better meet the needs of their national and international maritime clients through coordination and ...

Extracting iceberg freeboard using shadow length in high-resolution optical images

open access: yesGeo-spatial Information Science
Icebergs are big chunks of ice floating on the ocean surface, and melting of icebergs contributes for the major part of freshwater flux into ocean. Dynamic monitoring of the icebergs in Antarctica and accurate estimation of their volume are important for

Antarctic iceberg melt rate variability and sensitivity to ocean thermal forcing

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2023
Changes in iceberg calving fluxes and oceanographic conditions around Antarctica have likely influenced the spatial and temporal distribution of iceberg fresh water fluxes to the surrounding ocean basins.

Observations of icebergs in Antarctic cruises of the R/V “Akademik Mstislav Keldysh”

open access: yesRussian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2022
We observed two different icebergs near the Antarctic Peninsula. One was one of the largest ever observed (160 km long). It calved from the Filchner Glacier. Fresher water field surrounded the iceberg and drifted together with the iceberg.

Greenland iceberg melt variability from high-resolution satellite observations [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2018
Iceberg discharge from the Greenland Ice Sheet accounts for up to half of the freshwater flux to surrounding fjords and ocean basins, yet the spatial distribution of iceberg meltwater fluxes is poorly understood.

Icebergs boost phytoplankton growth in the Southern Ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Icebergs which calve from the Antarctic ice shelves and drift in the Southern Ocean deliver fresh water, dust and minerogenic particles to the surface ocean along the iceberg's path.

Laboratory Investigations of Iceberg Melting under Wave Conditions in Sea Water

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Changes in the masses of icebergs due to deterioration processes affect the drift of icebergs and should be taken into account when assessing iceberg risks in the areas of offshore development.
