Glacial/interglacial changes in mineral dust and sea-salt records in polar ice cores: sources, transport, and deposition [PDF]
, 2007 Sea salt and mineral dust records as represented by Na+ and Ca2+ concentrations, respectively, in Greenland and Antarctic ice cores show pronounced glacial/interglacial variations. For the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) mineral dust (sea salt) concentrations

The Antarctic sea ice cover from ICESat-2 and CryoSat-2: freeboard, snow depth, and ice thickness
The Cryosphere, 2020 . We offer a view of the Antarctic sea ice cover from lidar (ICESat-2) and radar (CryoSat-2) altimetry, with retrievals of freeboard, snow depth, and ice thickness that span an 8-month winter between 1 April and 16 November 2019.

Ice core reconstruction of sea ice change in the Amundsen-Ross Seas since 1702 A.D. [PDF]
, 2016 Antarctic sea ice has been increasing in recent decades, but with strong regional differences in the expression of sea ice change. Declining sea ice in the Bellingshausen Sea since 1979 (the satellite era) has been linked to the observed warming on the ...

Impact of West Antarctic ice shelf melting on Southern Ocean hydrography [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Previous studies show accelerations of West Antarctic glaciers, implying that basal melt rates of these glaciers were previously small and increased in the middle of the 20th century. This enhanced melting is a likely source of the observed Ross Sea (RS)

Brief communication: Increasing shortwave absorption over the Arctic Ocean is not balanced by trends in the Antarctic [PDF]
, 2017 On the basis of a new, consistent, long-term observational satellite dataset we show that, despite the observed increase of sea ice extent in the Antarctic, absorption of solar shortwave radiation in the Southern Ocean poleward of 60° latitude is not ...

An indicator of sea ice variability for the Antarctic marginal ice zone
The Cryosphere, 2022 Abstract. Remote-sensing records over the last 40 years have revealed large year-to-year global and regional variability in Antarctic sea ice extent. Sea ice area and extent are useful climatic indicators of large-scale variability, but they do not allow the quantification of regions of distinct variability in sea ice concentration (SIC).

Combustion of available fossil-fuel resources sufficient to eliminate the Antarctic Ice Sheet [PDF]
, 2015 The Antarctic Ice Sheet stores water equivalent to 58 m in global sea-level rise. We show in simulations using the Parallel Ice Sheet Model that burning the currently attainable fossil fuel resources is sufficient to eliminate the ice sheet.

Remote Sensing, 2020 The presence of sea ice leads in the sea ice cover represents a key feature in polar regions by controlling the heat exchange between the relatively warm ocean and cold atmosphere due to increased fluxes of turbulent sensible and latent heat.
