The Arctic and Antarctic Sea-Ice Area Index Records versus Measured and Modeled Temperature Data [PDF]

, 2015
Here we study the Arctic and Antarctic sea-ice area records provided by the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). These records reveal an opposite climatic behavior: since 1978 the Arctic sea-ice area index decreased, that is, the region has warmed,

Complex past ice flow from Norway to the North Sea Plateau during the Quaternary: evidence from Marstein Trough and earlier reconstructions using 3D seismic data sets

Boreas, EarlyView.
We have mapped a 60 km long, 30 km wide, 120 m deep buried glacially eroded trough on the North Sea Plateau, west of the Norwegian Channel (59°N, 3°E). The trough was carved out by an ice stream that flowed out from western Norway and crossed the Norwegian Channel in a southwestern direction during the penultimate or Saalian glaciation.

Antarctic bedrock topography uncertainty and ice sheet stability [PDF]

, 2015
All Rights Reserved. Antarctic bedrock elevation estimates have uncertainties exceeding 1km in certain regions. Bedrock elevation, particularly where the bedrock is below sea level and bordering the ocean, can have a large impact on ice sheet stability ...

FISHGLOB: A collaborative infrastructure to bridge the gap between scientific monitoring and marine biodiversity conservation

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
FISHGLOB brings together experts in and users of fish monitoring data to support biodiversity research and conservation across oceans. Abstract Large‐scale biodiversity assessments and conservation applications require integrated and up‐to‐date datasets across regions. In the oceans, monitoring is fragmented, which affects knowledge exchange and usage.

A mechanism for biologically-induced iodine emissions from sea-ice

, 2008
International audienceOnly recently, ground- and satellite-based measurements have reported high concentrations of IO in coastal Antarctica. The sources of such a large iodine burden in the Antarctic atmosphere remain unknown.

Inferring Ice Thickness from a Glacier Dynamics Model and Multiple Surface Datasets [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
The future behavior of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) may have a major impact on future climate. For instance, ice sheet melt may contribute significantly to global sea level rise. Understanding the current state of WAIS is therefore of great interest. WAIS is drained by fast-flowing glaciers which are major contributors to ice loss.

Can Natural Variability Explain Observed Antarctic Sea Ice Trends? New Modeling Evidence from CMIP5 [PDF]

, 2013
The recent observed positive trends in total Antarctic sea ice extent are at odds with the expectation of melting sea ice in a warming world. More problematic yet, climate models indicate that sea ice should decrease around Antarctica in response to both

Halogen species record Antarctic sea ice extent over glacial–interglacial periods [PDF]

, 2013
. Sea ice is an integral part of the earth's climate system because it affects planetary albedo, sea-surface salinity, and the atmosphere–ocean exchange of reactive gases and aerosols.

Climate Absurdism

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many arguments in the popular discourse around climate change seem intended to give the impression that climate action is an absurd endeavor. These ‘climate absurdist’ arguments are reflected in the question: ‘if the climate is going to change anyway, why should we care about anthropogenic climate change?’ Classic absurdist philosophy suggests
