Although the size-frequency distributions of icebergs can provide insight into how they disintegrate, our understanding this process is incomplete. Fundamentally, there a discrepancy between iceberg power-law observed at glacial calving fronts and lognormal globally within open waters that remains unexplained. Here we use passive seismic monitoring to examine mechanisms disintegration as function drift. Our results indicate shift in distribution sizes product fracture-driven dimensional...
The alongshore distribution of wave energy is believed to be an important control on the spatial variability coastal erosion. There is, however, a lack field data quantifying in rock coasts, whereby relative coastline geometry versus foreshore characteristics delivery remains unclear. A number studies have identified high-frequency cliff-top ground shaking generated by impacts at cliff toe during high tides (HT). To capture wave-cliff impact along-coast, we installed array seismometers along...
