Modelled dynamics of floating and grounded icebergs, with application to the Amundsen Sea [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Icebergs that ground on the submarine Bear Ridge in the Amundsen Sea are known to block the drift of sea ice, playing a crucial role in maintaining shelf sea ocean conditions.

Seismic Clues Reveal the Mechanisms Behind Iceberg Calving

Eos, 2016
Scientists combine models and video footage of iceberg calving to analyze the potential of seismology to unravel physical processes behind the breakup of ice sheets.

Subcritical crack propagation as a mechanism of crevasse formation and iceberg calving [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 2004
AbstractRecent investigations of crevassing on alpine glaciers and ice shelves have been based on linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). However, LEFM is unable to explain some aspects of crevasse formation such as the initiation of crevasse propagation from crystal-scale (mm) microcracks, the slow propagation of large fractures in ice shelves, and ...

Impact of varying solar angles on Arctic iceberg area retrieval from Sentinel-2 near-infrared data

Annals of Glaciology
Icebergs are part of the glacial mass balance and they interact with the ocean and with sea ice. Optical satellite remote sensing is often used to retrieve the above-waterline area of icebergs.

Reverse glacier motion during iceberg calving and the cause of glacial earthquakes [PDF]

Nearly half of Greenland\u27s mass loss occurs through iceberg calving, but the physical mechanisms operating during calving are poorly known and in situ observations are sparse.
