An Assessment of the Antarctic Sea Ice Mass Budget Simulation in CMIP6 Historical Experiment
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 The sea ice formation and dissipation processes are complicated and involve many factors and mechanisms, from the basal growth/melting, the frazil ice formation, the snow ice processes to the dynamic process, etc. The contribution of different factors to

Quantification of ikaite in Antarctic sea ice [PDF]
Antarctic Science, 2012 AbstractCalcium carbonate precipitation in sea ice is thought to potentially drive significant CO2 uptake by the ocean. However, little is known about the quantitative spatial and temporal distribution of CaCO3 within sea ice, although it is hypothesized that high quantities of dissolved organic matter and/or phosphate (common in sea ice) may inhibit ...

The Amundsen Sea and the Antarctic Ice Sheet [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 A few decades ago, Antarctic ice sheets were expected to grow as the atmosphere warmed and increasing poleward moisture transport added snowfall to regions that would remain below freezing year-round. Concerns about their sensitivity to climate change were centered on air temperature and on glacially paced ice dynamics.

The Monterey Event and the Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 401-416., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Why Does Arctic Sea Ice Respond More Evidently than Antarctic Sea Ice to Climate Change?
Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Research, 2023 The current climate change episode has impacted sea ice in the 2 polar regions differently. In the Arctic, remarkable sea ice extent and thickness declines have been observed with a stunning depletion rate of old ice.

Antarctic Sea Ice—A Polar Opposite? [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 As the world's ice diminishes in the face of climate change—from the dramatic decline in Arctic sea ice, to thinning at the margins of both the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, to retreating mountain glaciers the world over—Antarctic sea ice presents something of a paradox.

Quaternary sediment patterns in the Weddell Sea: relations and environmental conditions [PDF]
