Buoyancy Feedbacks on Wave‐Induced Melting of Icebergs
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Icebergs play an important role in the climate system through their temporally and spatially distributed injection of freshwater into the ocean. Waterline melting from surface wave action accounts for a substantial amount of iceberg mass loss and drives iceberg fragmentation, yet it is poorly constrained and lacks physics‐based model ...

Birth of a Large Iceberg in Pine Island Bay, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2004 This lithograph shows the break-off of a large iceberg from the Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica. This event occurred between November 4th and 12th, 2001, and provides powerful evidence of rapid changes underway in this area of Antarctica.

Wind-driven upwelling around grounded tabular icebergs [PDF]
, 2016 Funding was provided by NSF Polar Programs - Grant Number: ARC-1304137.Temperature and salinity data collected around grounded tabular icebergs in Baffin Bay in 2011, 2012 and 2013 indicate wind-induced upwelling at certain locations around the icebergs.

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

Search for Barents: Evaluation of possible burial sites on north Novaya Zemlya, Russia [PDF]
, 2002 Three cairns on northernmost Novaya Zemlya identified as possible rock-pile graves by Russian investigators in 1977 and 1988 were located and inspected for human remains. These cairns are in the area visited by Dutch seafarers between 17 and 22 June 1597,

The integrated ice sheet response to stochastic iceberg calving
Journal of GlaciologyAbstract Iceberg calving is a major source of ice loss from the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. However, it is still one of the most poorly understood aspects of ice sheet dynamics, in part due to its variability at a wide range of spatial and temporal scales.

Greenland Ice Sheet's Distinct Calving Styles Are Identified in Terminus Change Timeseries
Geophysical Research LettersAt least three primary iceberg calving styles have been identified in Greenland: serac collapse, which produces falling icebergs tens of meters in length; slab capsize, which produces rotating icebergs hundreds of meters in length; and tabular rifting ...

Seismicity within a propagating ice shelf rift: The relationship between icequake locations and ice shelf structure [PDF]
, 2014 Iceberg calving is a dominant mass loss mechanism for Antarctic ice shelves, second only to basal melting. An important process involved in calving is the initiation and propagation of through‐penetrating fractures called rifts; however, the mechanisms ...
