Tracking changes in the area, thickness, and volume of the Thwaites tabular iceberg “B30” using satellite altimetry and imagery

A Braakmann-Folgmann, A Shepherd, A Ridout - The Cryosphere, 2021 - tc.copernicus.org
Icebergs account for half of all ice loss from Antarctica and, once released, present a hazard
to maritime operations. Their melting leads to a redistribution of cold fresh water around the …
