Iceberg sightings, shapes and management techniques for offshore Newfoundland and Labrador: historical data and future applications
For safe and efficient operations in the iceberg-infested waters offshore eastern Canada, accurate information on icebergs is needed. Databases on iceberg sightings, shapes and management techniques have been developed in order to bring all relevant iceberg information into one repository. Iceberg s...
