摘要

Iceberg calving is the sudden disintegration of large chunk of iceberg from ice sheet, glacier, ice shelf into an ocean. It is necessary to monitor these events, as they play a crucial role in the current dynamics of the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet. The data has been acquired from LANDSAT (4-5, 7 and 8). The description of these events has been categorized into three major categories: to be calved, calved-icebergs and the potential locations that are vulnerable of being calved. Three minor calving events have been discussed in this study. The first event has been reported near Dean Island. The calved off iceberg from the location is having a surface area of 2.98 sq. km. The second event took place near Fletcher Island, where the rate at which the rift is growing is observed to be 0.53 km/year (2002-2009). Visual analysis has played a vital role in predicting the shape (tabular) of the iceberg which is yet to calve. The third event, which is of global attention, has been reported at Larsen C of Antarctic Peninsula, and has calved a huge iceberg. The difference between the lengths is calculated as 39.65 km and 53.42 km for the image dated 15-03-2005 and 08-03-2012 and 08-03-2012 and 02-02-2016 respectively. The rate of growth of the rift is 5.66 km/year until 2012 and 3.11 km/year until 2016. The study mainly focuses on usage of optical moderate resolution satellite data for monitoring and tracking iceberg calving events that can be used as an indicator of climate change.
