DOI: 10.1002/2016gl071645
Abstract: The discharge of icebergs into the polar oceans is expected to increase over the coming century, which raises the importance of accurate representations of icebergs in global climate models (GCMs) used for future projections. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13131-017-1142-8
Abstract: A massive iceberg, named A-68 by National Ice Center (NIC) officially, calved away from the Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica on July 12, 2017. The iceberg A-68 is about 5 800 km2, weighs more… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.coldregions.2018.11.016
Abstract: Abstract This article proposes a statistical model for short-term iceberg drift forecasts by transforming the problem of forecasting the iceberg velocity into a problem of forecasting the ocean current velocity. A Vector-autoregression model is identified… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-13231-0
Abstract: Marine phytoplankton growth at high latitudes is extensively limited by iron availability. Icebergs are a vector transporting the bioessential micronutrient iron into polar oceans. Therefore, increasing iceberg fluxes due to global warming have the potential… read more here.
