How climate model biases skew the distribution of iceberg meltwater
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Geophysical Research Letters"
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: 10.1029/2025gl119151
Abstract: On 12 January 2022, an iceberg collapsed at the edge of frozen Atka Bay, Antarctica. The event generated seismic, hydroacoustic, and atmospheric infrasound waves recorded by a local network comprising land‐ and iceshelf‐based seismometers, an… 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.

DOI: 10.1080/15230430.2024.2367778
Abstract: ABSTRACT Little is known about the evolution and dynamics of icebergs in alpine lakes. We analyzed the movement and ablation patterns of icebergs at an ice-contact lake at Pasterze Glacier, Austria, using time-lapse images. Iceberg… read more here.
