Weddell Sea iceberg drift: Five years of observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Since 1999, 52 icebergs have been tagged with GPS buoys in the Weddell Seato enable monitoring of their position. The chosen icebergs were of small tomedium size, with a few icebergs larger than 10 km associatedwith the calving of icebergs A38 and A43 ...

Monitoring the Petermann Ice Island with TanDEM-X [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper presents the processing of TanDEM-X acquisitions for the monitoring of the topography of the Petermann ice island. In this particular case the area under study is continuously moving and the acquisition geometry is changing, so the processing ...

Brief Communication "The 2013 Erebus Glacier Tongue calving event" [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2013
The Erebus Glacier Tongue, a small floating glacier in southern McMurdo Sound, is one of the best-studied ice tongues in Antarctica. Despite this, its calving on the 27 February 2013 (UTC) was around 10 yr earlier than previously predicted.

Antarctic iceberg melt rate variability and sensitivity to ocean thermal forcing

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2023
Changes in iceberg calving fluxes and oceanographic conditions around Antarctica have likely influenced the spatial and temporal distribution of iceberg fresh water fluxes to the surrounding ocean basins.

Micro‐habitat selection by boreal woodland caribou improves access to food

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Bio‐logging sensors attached to radiotelemetry receivers have great potential to transform our understanding of the ecological, physiological, and energetic constraints that shape patterns of wildlife movement under field conditions. We used video camera collars to assess microhabitat selectivity by woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus in boreal forests ...

47 Years of Large Antarctic Calving Events: Insights From Extreme Value Theory

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Massive calving events result in significant instantaneous ice loss from Antarctica. The rarity and stochastic nature of these extreme events makes it difficult to understand their physical drivers, temporal trends, and future likelihood. To address this

Icebergs, jigsaw puzzles, and genealogy: automated multi-generational iceberg tracking and lineage reconstruction [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
Tabular icebergs calve from ice shelves and glaciers in Antarctica, Greenland, and northern Ellesmere Island. These “ice islands”, as they are referred to in the Arctic, drift, melt, and fragment, contributing freshwater and nutrients to the ocean ...
