A pair of US researchers have developed a new model to tackle a deceptively simple problem: how a small block of ice melts while floating in calm water. Using an advanced experimental setup, Daisuke ...
Ice floating on water seems to be a common occurrence; however, one of the most astonishing and crucial phenomena in nature is the fact that it happens. In general, all matter behaves in such a way ...
A robotic float has measured the temperature and salinity from parts of the ocean never sampled before—underneath massive floating ice shelves in East Antarctica. For two and a half years, an Argo ...
In recent years, China has witnessed the extensive construction of offshore wind farms. The safe running of offshore wind turbines in the northern sea is affected by intermittent floating ice and ...
We present Bedmap3, the latest suite of gridded products describing surface elevation, ice-thickness and the seafloor and subglacial bed elevation of the Antarctic south of 60 °S. Bedmap3 incorporates ...
