On the recent calving of icebergs from the Ross ice shelf
Polar Geography, 2008Abstract The year 2000 has witnessed the calving of several remarkably large icebergs in the Ross and Weddell seas of Antarctica, including the calving of B-l 5, possibly the largest iceberg yet to be observed. Here we present satellite imagery that records the calving, and precursor events leading up to the detachment of B-l 5 from the Ross Ice Shelf ...

Crescentic submarine hills and holes produced by iceberg calving and rotation
Geological Society, London, Memoirs, 2016Late Weichselian maximum ice covered the entire Barents Sea continental shelf and a major ice stream delivered large amounts of glacial debris to the western slope (Fig. 1a). During deglaciation, one of several dynamic components of the ice sheet occupied Djuprenna, a glacially eroded trough offshore of the northernmost coast of mainland Norway (Fig ...

Size distributions of small ice pieces calved from icebergs
Cold Regions Science and Technology, 2000Abstract This study was part of a larger project currently underway to develop an operational iceberg drift and deterioration model for the Canadian Ice Service (CIS), Environment Canada. This new iceberg model, as distinct from previous drift computations, will include estimates of iceberg calving and production of smaller ice pieces in the bergy ...

Iceberg calving from a Canadian Arctic tidewater glacier
2011Time lapse imagery, an audio recorder and geophones were used to detect iceberg calving events on the Belcher Glacier, Devon Island, in the Canadian High Arctic, in order to identify the major controls on the rate and style of calving. Eleven calving events were identified between June 4th and August 14th 2009 which accounted for 44% of the annual ...

Numerical and experimental investigation of tsunamis generated by iceberg calving
2021With climate change as an increasingly important issue, the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have suffered rapid ice mass losses contributing to sea level rise. Iceberg calving is one of the main factors for ice mass loss and may also generate large tsunamis when icebergs calve into a water body, threatening the fishing and shipping industries and ...
