Listening to icebergs could help to assess the extent of glacier melt, scientists report.
Researchers in Poland, the UK and US have found different types of icebergs have their own acoustic signature as they calve away from the ice.
Monitoring this could help to determine how much ice is being lost and the effect this could have on global sea level rise.
The findings are reported in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
Oskar Glowacki, from the Institute of Geophysics at the Polish Academy of Sciences, said: "Using acoustics, we can get very accurate data and we can collect this data continuously. We just place the hydrophones - underwater microphones - in the water and listen to the sounds."
The researchers used their kit to capture every rumble, groan and snap as ice cleaved away from the Hans Glacier in Svalbard.
Combining this with time-lapse photography, they discovered that the birth of different types of icebergs creates different sounds. The team found three acoustic signatures from this tidal glacier.

That’s my take too. There’s this weird ‘jump to negative conclusion’ mindset whenever climate change is discussed. Why always bad? Why couldn’t it be a good thing?
...they’re banking on ignorance and making people assume their hysteria is justified, as they’re “scientists”, Archimedes be damned.
Icebergs 'have sound signature'
I'm sure the SSBNs and fast attacks know this...more important than globull warming.

They’re really scraping bottom, not?
Of course, the conclusions that will be reached once the sounds have been analyzed are already determined.
Ergo, the algorithm will proceed as follows:
1. Determine sounds that will be created due to global warming
2. Collect audio from glaciers
3. Frequency analysis of data
4. Apply filtering with filter tuned to eliminate those sounds not associated with predetermined hypothesis
5. Amplify results
6. Pass paper for peer review only to others with little or no experience in statistics, signal processing, or physics
7. Trumpet results to those with virtually no technical abilities whatsoever, e.g., the press and politicians.

Are they North or South Poles?
I heard something interesting last night.
A guy was talking on the radio about Planet X and whatever BS he could dream up.
But at one point, he said “All the sounds people are hearing, the booms and trumpet sounds, etc. are the Earths crust disconnecting from the core”...
This whole thing was in preparation of a polar shift.
So, take it or leave it.. I just thought it was interesting having never heard this one before!
