Where the Ice Ends: Calving and Ice-Ocean Interactions at Helheim Glacier and Beyond
… components of this dynamic mass loss signal is iceberg calving, the detachment of ice into the ocean. Ice dynamic and ice-ocean processes that influence iceberg calving occur across a range of spatial (cm to km) and temporal (minutes to years) scales, making them difficult to capture with …

Satellite Remote Sensing Investigations into Changing Ice-shelf Extents in the Eastern Weddell Sea Sector of Antarctica
… extent mapping is undertaken by mapping the calving front locations in the eastern Weddell Sea Sector of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, where four of Antarctica’s ten largest ice shelves are located. Calving fronts and other lengths of coastline were mapped using an adapted edge-extraction …

Using Space Borne Microwave Sensors to Track Large Antarctic Icebergs
<p>Studying Antarctic icebergs can provide insight into climatic changes of the Earth's frozen continent. Antarctic icebergs are regularly formed by the separations of massive sections of ice from ice shelves and glaciers. <p>The National Ice Center (NIC) is playing a major role in sea ice analysis …

Late Weichselian and Holocene Glacimarine Sedimentation and Environments in Kejser Franz Josephs Fjord and On The Adjacent Continental Margin, East Greenland
… ii) determination of grain size distribution, iceberg rafted debris and physical properties (water content, porosity, grain density), iii) determination of stable oxygen and carbon isotopes, iv) radiocarbon dating, and v) calculation of sedimentation and accumulation rates. Additionaly, …

The Quaternary evolution of the mid-Norwegian continental margin
… glacial–interglacial cycles. Evidence of iceberg ploughmarks found within the earliest Quaternary Naust surfaces documents a marine-terminating, calving Fennoscandian Ice Sheet margin extending periodically onto the mid-Norwegian shelf since the earliest Quaternary. Buried …
