Canadian Ice Island Drift, Deterioration and Detection database (CI2D3 database)
Ice islands are massive, tabular icebergs which calve from ice shelves and floating glacier tongues. The ability to identify, monitor and predict the drift and deterioration of these immense ice hazards is crucial for mitigating the associated risks to marine navigation and offshore infrastructure i...
