Islands of Ice: Influence of Free-Drifting Antarctic Icebergs on Pelagic Marine Ecosystems [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 Regional warming around West Antarctica, including the Antarctic Peninsula, is related to the retreat of glaciers that has resulted in significant ice mass loss in recent decades (De Angelis and Skvarca, 2003). Large icebergs (> 18.5 km long) originating

Impacts of tidewater glacier advance on iceberg habitat
Annals of Glaciology, 2023 Icebergs in proglacial fjords serve as pupping, resting and molting habitat for some of the largest seasonal aggregations of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardii) in Alaska.

Sub-grid parameterization of iceberg drag in a coupled iceberg–ocean model [PDF]
The CryosphereOcean conditions in fjords play a key role in the accelerating ice mass loss of Greenland's marine-terminating glaciers. Ice mélange and icebergs have been shown to impact fjord circulation, heat and freshwater fluxes, and the submarine melting of ...

Extracting iceberg freeboard using shadow length in high-resolution optical images
Geo-spatial Information ScienceIcebergs are big chunks of ice floating on the ocean surface, and melting of icebergs contributes for the major part of freshwater flux into ocean. Dynamic monitoring of the icebergs in Antarctica and accurate estimation of their volume are important for

Estimation of potential fresh water reserves in icebergs
Лëд и снег, 2017 According to the forecast of the global shortage of fresh water it is expected that the global demand for drink‑ ing water will be increased up to 400 km3 per a year. As the main potential resources of drinking water it is proposed to use table Antarctic

Grounded icebergs around Antarctica: a high-resolution dataset derived from deep learning and Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar [PDF]
Earth System Science DataIcebergs frequently run aground on shoals on the continental shelf around Antarctica. Once rendered immobile, they can anchor landfast sea ice (fast ice) and their supply of limiting trace nutrients contribute to driving coastal marine productivity. They

Significant contribution of small icebergs to the freshwater budget in Greenland fjords
Communications Earth & Environment, 2020 Small icebergs comprise a significant fraction of icebergs in Greenland fjords and have fallen below the detection and resolution limit of earlier satellite data, suggest analyses of high-resolution imagery with deep neural networks.
