 |July 2, 2025|Potpourri\\  Oliver Marsh: Crack growth and iceberg formation on a dynamic ice shelf. (Oliver is a glaciologist with the British Antarctic Survey) // Abstract: Ice shelves around Antarctica are critical to slowing the rate of sea level rise.  This talk addresses new technology used to monitor cracks in ice shelves during polar winter, including GNSS precise point positioning, and ground-based and satellite radar systems.  Three major iceberg calving events have occurred on the Brunt Ice Shelf since 2021, with new high-precision data used to inform models of fracture propagation and ice shelf stability.// (~45minutes)\\ Methylene Blue (JerryS)\\ AI Followup  (DickW)|
