PROCEDURE OF EXTRACTING THIN ICE AREAS IN THE SEA OF OKHOTSK USING MODIS DATA [PDF]
The latest IPCC report clearly stated that the human influence is the main reason of sea ice reduction in the Arctic. Importance of sea ice monitoring from space is increasing.

Grease-ice thickness parameterization [PDF]
AbstractGrease ice is a mixture of sea water and frazil ice crystals forming in Arctic and Antarctic waters. the initial grease-ice cover, or the grease ice forming during winter in leads and polynyas, may therefore have mixed properties of water and ice.

Airborne electromagnetic sea ice thickness sounding in shallow, brackish water environments of the Caspian and Baltic Seas [PDF]
Ice engineering projects often rely on the knowledge of ice thickness in shallow, brackish water like in the Baltic and Caspian Seas. By means of field data and model results, the paper shows that helicopter-borne electromagnetic induction measurements ...

Antarctic ice sheet thickness estimation using the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio method with single-station seismic ambient noise [PDF]
We report on a successful application of the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (H / V) method, generally used to investigate the subsurface velocity structures of the shallow crust, to estimate the Antarctic ice sheet thickness for the first time.

Measuring and inferring the ice thickness distribution of four glaciers in the Tien Shan, Kyrgyzstan
Glaciers in the Tien Shan mountains contribute considerably to the fresh water used for irrigation, households and energy supply in the dry lowland areas of Kyrgyzstan and its neighbouring countries. To date, reconstructions of the current ice volume and

Estimating ice discharge of the Antarctic Peninsula using different ice-thickness datasets
The Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet (APIS) has become a significant contributor to sea-level rise over recent decades. Accurately estimating the ice discharge from the outlet glaciers of the APIS is crucial to quantify the mass balance of the Antarctic ...

Ice thickness, volume and subglacial relief of Djankuat Glacier (Central Caucasus)
In this paper we present and discuss results of radio-echo sounding and modelling of ice thickness of the Djankuat Glacier. This glacier is the reference one for the Central Caucasus and was earlier studied comprehensively, but direct ice thickness ...

Enhancing sea ice knowledge through assimilation of sea ice thickness from ENVISAT and CS2SMOS [PDF]
Arctic sea ice extent has declined significantly over the past four decades, opening up the Arctic to shipping and resource extraction while also impacting wildlife and local communities.
