International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2018 A series of tests in an ice tank was carried out using a model-scale ship to investigate the ice loading process. The ship model Uikku was mounted on a rigid carriage and towed through a level ice field in the ice tank of the Marine Technology Group at ...

Hysteretic evolution of ice rises and ice rumples in response to variations in sea level [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Ice rises and ice rumples are locally grounded features found in coastal Antarctica and are surrounded by otherwise freely floating ice shelves. An ice rise has an independent flow regime, whereas the flow regime of an ice rumple conforms to that of the ...

The GRISLI-LSCE contribution to the Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project for phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (ISMIP6) – Part 2: Projections of the Antarctic ice sheet evolution by the end of the 21st century [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 The Antarctic ice sheet's contribution to global sea level rise over the 21st century is of primary societal importance and remains largely uncertain as of yet.

Ice-Sheet and Sea-Level Changes [PDF]
Science, 2005 Future sea-level rise is an important issue related to the continuing buildup of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, with the potential to raise sea level ∼70 meters if completely melted, dominate uncertainties in projected sea-level change.

Brief communication: On calculating the sea-level contribution in marine ice-sheet models [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Estimating the contribution of marine ice sheets to sea-level rise is complicated by ice grounded below sea level that is replaced by ocean water when melted.

A Numerical Ice Load Prediction Model Based on Ice-Hull Collision Mechanism
Applied Sciences, 2020 A simplified numerical model is introduced to predict ice impact force acting on the ship hull in level ice condition. The model is based on ice-hull collision mechanisms and the essential ice breaking characteristics. The two critical ice failure modes,

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 On April 7, 2016 the Nansen ice shelf (NIS) front calved into two icebergs, the first large-scale calving event in >30 years. Three hydrophone moorings were deployed seaward of the NIS in December 2015 and over the following months recorded hundreds ...

A kinematic formalism for tracking ice–ocean mass exchange on the Earth's surface and estimating sea-level change [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Polar ice sheets are important components of the Earth system. As the geometries of land, ocean and ice sheets evolve, they must be consistently captured within the lexicon of geodesy.
