The origin of green icebergs in Antarctica [PDF]
A comparison of samples from a translucent green iceberg with a core from the Ronne Ice Shelf revealed an excellent agreement in isotopic composition, crystal structure, and incorporated sediment particles.

Abstract Several water masses circulate under the Ross Ice Shelf (RIS), the largest ice shelf in Antarctica, each causing basal melting with a specific spatio‐temporal pattern. To investigate these patterns and their variability, we applied a mixing ratio analysis to simulated water masses from a new numerical ocean model of the Ross Sea.

The 'footloose' mechanism: iceberg decay from hydrostatic stresses [PDF]
We study a mechanism of iceberg breakup that may act together with the recognized melt and wave-induced decay processes. Our proposal is based on observations from a recent field experiment on a large ice island in Baffin Bay, East Canada.

Abstract Terrestrial water storage (TWS) plays an important role in describing the Earth system, as water availability is decisive for ecosystems and human development. Since 2002, the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and its Follow‐On (GRACE‐FO) mission have measured TWS anomalies with unprecedented accuracy, enabling a leap in ...

Disentangling the oceanic drivers behind the post-2000 retreat of Sermeq Kujalleq, Greenland (Jakobshavn Isbræ) [PDF]
Ocean temperatures have warmed in the fjords surrounding the Greenland Ice Sheet, causing increased melt along their ice fronts and rapid glacier retreat and contributing to rising global sea levels.

Quantifying flow and stress in ice mélange, the world’s largest granular material. [PDF]
Tidewater glacier fjords are often filled with a collection of calved icebergs, brash ice, and sea ice. For glaciers with high calving rates, this “m ́elange” of ice can be jam-packed, so that the flow of ice fragments is mostly determined by ...

Icebergs, sea ice, blue carbon and Antarctic climate feedbacks [PDF]
Sea ice, including icebergs, has a complex relationship with the carbon held within animals (blue carbon) in the polar regions. Sea-ice losses around West Antarctica's continental shelf generate longer phytoplankton blooms but also make it a hotspot for ...

Forest harvest and natural stressors compound to reduce juvenile ungulate survival
Anthropogenic disturbances, such as forest harvest, create risky landscapes for juveniles by increasing their vulnerability to predation and hunting, and when combined with natural stressors like parasitism, likely drive population declines. Managing landscapes with a species‐centric approach that addresses the cumulative effects of human and natural ...

Monte Carlo ice flow modeling projects a new stable configuration for Columbia Glacier, Alaska, c. 2020 [PDF]
Due to the abundance of observational datasets collected since the onset of its retreat (c. 1983), Columbia Glacier, Alaska, provides an exciting modeling target.

Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of Zinc‐lysinate sulfate (Plexomin® L‐Zn) as a nutritional feed additive for all animal species and categories. The applicant has provided evidence that, in essence, the additives under assessment comply with the proposed
