Floating Ice-Algal Aggregates below Melting Arctic Sea Ice

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
During two consecutive cruises to the Eastern Central Arctic in late summer 2012, we observed floating algal aggregates in the melt-water layer below and between melting ice floes of first-year pack ice. The macroscopic (1-15 cm in diameter) aggregates had a mucous consistency and were dominated by typical ice-associated pennate diatoms embedded within

Robust Arctic warming caused by projected Antarctic sea ice loss

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2020
Over the coming century, both Arctic and Antarctic sea ice cover are projected to substantially decline. While many studies have documented the potential impacts of projected Arctic sea ice loss on the climate of the mid-latitudes and the tropics, little

Sea ice trends in climate models only accurate in runs with biased global warming

open access: yes, 2017
Observations indicate that the Arctic sea ice cover is rapidly retreating while the Antarctic sea ice cover is steadily expanding. State-of-the-art climate models, by contrast, typically simulate a moderate decrease in both the Arctic and Antarctic sea ...

Indigenous self-determination in cryospheric science: The Inuit-led Sikumik Qaujimajjuti (“tools to know how the ice is”) program in Inuit Nunangat, Canada

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Inuit have lived along the shoreline of the frozen Arctic Ocean for centuries. Our wellbeing, culture, and identity are closely tied to safe and dependable ice access.

The Future of Arctic Sea Ice

open access: yesAnnual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2012
Arctic sea ice is a key indicator of the state of global climate because of both its sensitivity to warming and its role in amplifying climate change. Accelerated melting of the perennial sea ice cover has occurred since the late 1990s, which is important to the pan-Arctic region, through effects on atmospheric and oceanic circulations, the Greenland ...

Why Does Arctic Sea Ice Respond More Evidently than Antarctic Sea Ice to Climate Change?

open access: yesOcean-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.

The tipping times in an Arctic sea ice system under influence of extreme events

open access: yes, 2020
In light of the rapid recent retreat of Arctic sea ice, the extreme weather events triggering the variability in Arctic ice cover has drawn increasing attention.

Light Transmission Through Arctic Sea Ice - Large-Scale Studies on Seasonality and Spatial Variability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Arctic sea ice has declined and become thinner and more seasonal during the last decade. One consequence of this is that the surface energy budget of the Arctic Ocean is changing.

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

Changes in Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice Concentration in the Arctic Ocean over the Past Two Decades

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
With global warming, the decrease in sea ice creates favorable conditions for Arctic activities. Sea surface temperature (SST) is not only an important driven factor of sea ice concentration (SIC) changes but also an important medium of the ocean ...
