- Would strategically placing icebergs have any Arctic or global climate effect (for example, placing an iceberg in an area that would promote further ice growth or strengthen an ice area)?
- What are candidate sites for ‘donor’ icebergs, and what are candidate sites for placement of icebergs?
- How close to shore would icebergs need to be placed?
