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.

Seismo‐Acoustic Detection and Localization of Iceberg Collapse in Atka Bay, Antarctica

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 23, 16 December 2025.
Abstract On 12 January 2022, an iceberg collapsed at the edge of frozen Atka Bay, Antarctica. The event generated seismic, hydroacoustic, and atmospheric infrasound waves recorded by a local network comprising land‐ and iceshelf‐based seismometers, an underwater hydrophone, and an on‐ice infrasound array.

Prospects for seasonal forecasting of iceberg distributions in the North Atlantic [PDF]

, 2017
An efficient approach to ocean–iceberg modelling provides a means for assessing prospects for seasonal forecasting of iceberg distributions in the northwest Atlantic, where icebergs present a hazard to mariners each spring.

Dynamic Risk From Mexican Wolves and Mountain Lions Influences Elk Foraging Behavior

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
We observed elk foraging across a wolf risk gradient throughout all seasons and diel periods to quantify proportions of foraging, intense vigilance, and multitasking at the individual and herd levels. We quantified encounter and kill risk from Mexican wolves and mountain lions using habitat selection functions and utilization distributions.

Massive Antarctic Icebergs May Calve at Random

Eos
The first analysis of extreme calving events in Antarctica finds no correlation with climate change, highlighting the significance of common, smaller calving events for ice loss and instability.

Strong Year‐Round Variation in Circulation and Heat Transport in a Proglacial Southwest Greenland Fjord

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Greenland's glacial fjords serve as pathways for the transport of heat and freshwater between the continental shelf and the outlet glaciers of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Despite increasing attention from the research community, seasonal studies in Greenland fjords remain scarce. This is especially true for near‐surface measurements.

Centurial‐millenial ice‐rafted debris pulses from ablating marine ice sheets [PDF]

, 2001
We use an ice‐sheet model to show that (i) margins of marine ice‐sheets can be expected to be frozen to the bed, except where ice‐streams discharge; (ii) 20–50km retreats induced by ablation rates of 2 m/yr provide sufficient debris flux through the ...

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.
