Remote Sensing, 2021 On 26 September 2019, a massive iceberg broke off the west side of the Amery Ice Shelf (AIS) in East Antarctica. Since 1973, the AIS calving front has steadily advanced at a rate of 1.0 km yr−1. However, the advancement rate of the central portion of the

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Dense water formation in the Southern Ocean plays a key role in the global ocean overturning circulation, affecting the distribution of heat, carbon, oxygen, and nutrients. Fast ice stays immobile while blocking sea ice flow, favoring the opening of coastal polynyas, where intense air‐sea exchanges drive sea ice production and ocean ...

Reassessing the Role of the Antarctic Slope Current in Poleward Ocean Heat Transport
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract The Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) is often considered a barrier to the poleward transport of Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW), yet its vast extent has hindered circumpolar analysis of this relationship. Here, we use a high‐resolution global ocean‐sea ice model that resolves the slope current to assess the link between variability in the ASC and ...

Calving giant icebergs: old principles, new applications
Antarctic Science, 2006 Earth-orbiting satellites can now monitor calving of large icebergs from ice shelves bordering the marine West Antarctic Ice Sheet, and recent calving events have stimulated interest in calving mechanisms. To advance this interest pioneering work in brittle and ductile fracture mechanics is reviewed, leading to a new application to calving of giant ...

Baffin Bay Freshwater Content Seasonal Variability and Budget: A Modeling Approach
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Baffin Bay plays a significant role as an exporter of freshwater from the Arctic to the North Atlantic. However, we still do not completely understand how this freshwater is stored and transformed within the bay before it exits. Here, we use a six‐member ensemble built using the Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO)—at 1/4 ...

Combining SAR images with an iceberg drift model for improving mass loss estimations caused by iceberg calving - a case study [PDF]
, 2012 Recent estimations of mass loss caused by iceberg calving are limited to huge icebergs (>18.5km edge length) or are spatially limited. Since the 1970s, the course of huge icebergs is permanently tracked using satellite images by the National Ice Center ...

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Iceberg calving driven by crevasse propagation is an important source of ice loss from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. However, simulating crevasse growth and interaction in 3D, spanning meters to kilometers length scales, remains computationally challenging for high‐fidelity models based on nonlocal continuum damage mechanics and ...

Three-dimensional modelling of calving processes on Johnsons Glacier, Livingston Island, Antarctica. [PDF]
, 2010 Iceberg calving is an important mass loss mechanism from ice shelves and tidewater glaciers for many mid and high-latitude glaciers and ice caps, yet the process is not well represented in prognostic models of ice dynamics.
