🚨 Our new preprint!
*Cascading mass loss of Antarctic ice shelves triggered by iceberg collisions*

🔗 doi.org/10.22541/essoar.175285257.77669558/v1

In 2021, giant icebergs hit Dronning Maud Land ice shelves in #Antarctica, causing a chain reaction of calving & major regional ice-shelf area loss. 💥
Cascading mass loss of Antarctic ice shelves triggered by iceberg collisions
Iceberg calving accounts for about half of Antarctic ice-shelf mass loss. We used satellite imagery to analyze annual ice-shelf front changes and major calving events over eight years from austral sum...
