1. Cracking Antarctica’s Iceberg Code

   RIFT-TIP is investigating iceberg calving on the Brunt Ice Shelf. It uses field monitoring, lab testing, and modelling to predict when icebergs will form.

1. BLOG: Looking into the world’s most studied ice shelf

   Understanding what is going on inside an ice shelf is important for many reasons. But mostly, it allows us to better understand their contribution to sea level rise, and to […]
