Icebergs, sea ice, blue carbon and Antarctic climate feedbacks [PDF]
, 2018 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 ...

Brief communication: Rapid acceleration of the Brunt Ice Shelf after calving of iceberg A-81 [PDF]
The CryosphereThe Brunt Ice Shelf, Antarctica, accelerated rapidly from a velocity of 900 to 1500 m a−1 during 6 months, following calving of a 1500 km2 iceberg on 22 January 2023.

Geographical distribution and volume of Antarctic icebergs derived from ship observation data
Annals of Glaciology, 2017 Information on the occurrence, spatial distribution and morphometric characteristics of Antarctic icebergs is needed in a large number of applications including navigation, heat and freshwater balance calculations, biochemistry of the ocean and ...

A viscoelastic phase-field model for iceberg calving
Iceberg calving accounts for around half of the ice lost annually from Antarctica, but realistic representation of fracture and calving in large-scale ice sheet models remains a major unsolved problem in glaciology. We present a new phase-field viscoelastic model for fracture that simulates the slow deformation of ice and the distribution and evolution

Ecological consequences of a massive iceberg calving in Antarctica
, 2023 Dans le cadre de la théorie d'évolution des traits d'histoire de vie, l'allocation de l'énergie aux différentes fonctions des organismes au cours des différentes activités clés de leur cycle annuel revêt un caractère essentiel. Ainsi, la stratégie énergétique d'un animal longévif doit lui permettre de faire face aux contraintes extrêmes imposées par l ...

Power-law distributions in binned empirical data
, 2014 Many man-made and natural phenomena, including the intensity of earthquakes, population of cities and size of international wars, are believed to follow power-law distributions.

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

Icebergs boost phytoplankton growth in the Southern Ocean [PDF]
, 2008 Icebergs which calve from the Antarctic ice shelves and drift in the Southern Ocean deliver fresh water, dust and minerogenic particles to the surface ocean along the iceberg's path.
