Rotational drift in Antarctic sea ice: pronounced cyclonic features and differences between data products [PDF]
Sea ice extent variability, a measure based on satellite-derived sea ice concentration measurements, has traditionally been used as an indicator to evaluate the impact of climate change on polar regions.

A geomorphological overview of glacial landforms on the Icelandic continental shelf [PDF]
The availability of a bathymetric database that covers about 80% of the Icelandic shelf has made it possible to produce a geomorphological map of the glacial landforms.

Interannual sea ice thickness variability in the Bay of Bothnia [PDF]
While variations of Baltic Sea ice extent and thickness have been extensively studied, there is little information about drift ice thickness, distribution, and its variability. In our study, we quantify the interannual variability of sea ice thickness

Non‐Synchronous Rotation on Europa Driven by Ocean Currents
It has been suggested that the ice shell of Jupiter's moon Europa may drift non‐synchronously due to tidal torques. Here we argue that torques applied by the underlying ocean are also important and can result in non‐synchronous rotation.

Sea ice drift and arch evolution in the Robeson Channel using the daily coverage of Sentinel-1 SAR data for the 2016–2017 freezing season [PDF]
The Robeson Channel is a narrow sea water passage between Greenland and Ellesmere Island in the Arctic. It is a pathway of sea ice from the central Arctic and out to Baffin Bay.

Contribution of laser altimetry images to the geomorphology of the Late Holocene inland drift sands of the European Sand Belt [PDF]
The paper explores the possibilities of applying the analysis of laser altimetry images to Dutch drift sands. All along the European Sand Belt, which stretches from Great Britain to the Ural Mountains, Late Glacial cover sands, river dunes and other ice ...

The origin of green icebergs in Antarctica [PDF]
A comparison of samples from a translucent green iceberg with a core from the Ronne Ice Shelf revealed an excellent agreement in isotopic composition, crystal structure, and incorporated sediment particles.

Recent wind driven high sea ice area export in the Fram Strait contributes to Arctic sea ice decline [PDF]
Arctic sea ice area has been decreasing for the past two decades. Apart from melting, the southward drift through Fram Strait is the main ice loss mechanism. We present high resolution sea ice drift data across 79° N from 2004 to 2010.

Atmospheric highs drive asymmetric sea ice drift during lead opening from Point Barrow [PDF]
Throughout winter, the winds of migrating weather systems drive the recurrent opening of sea ice leads from Alaska's northernmost headland, Point Barrow.
