Surveying a Floating Iceberg With the USV SEADRAGON

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The calving, drifting, and melting of icebergs has local, regional, and global implications. Besides the impacts to local ecosystems due to changes in seawater salinity and temperature, the freshwater influx and transport can have significant regional ...

The tip of the iceberg [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ, 1994
I palpated a lump in my epigastrium nine months to the day after delivering my third child when I was 43. I was not alarmed since I had had an easy pregnancy and returned to work two months later as a consultant pathologist. I felt well. True, I was tired, but who is not with a full time job and three children, especially a small baby who still woke me

Parameterizing Tabular‐Iceberg Decay in an Ocean Model

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022
Large tabular icebergs account for the majority of ice mass calved from Antarctic ice shelves, but are omitted from climate models. Specifically, these models do not account for iceberg breakup and as a result, modeled large icebergs could drift to low ...

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.

“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).

Quantifying the cost of quality in construction projects: an insight into the base of the iceberg

open access: yes, 2023
Construction projects are complex endeavors where achieving higher quality standards is challenging due to the intrinsic difficulties and dynamic quality management processes. Several quality management techniques exist to overcome quality concerns, such

Numerical study on crashworthiness of monopile-supported offshore wind turbine due to iceberg considering fluid-structure interaction

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
As offshore wind energy expands into cold-region waters, offshore wind turbines (OWTs) are increasingly exposed to ice-structure interaction. In this study, a three-dimensional fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model was developed in LS-DYNA to simulate ...

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.
