Ice wedges as archives of winter palaeoclimate: a review [PDF]
Ice wedges are a characteristic feature of northern permafrost landscapes and grow mainly by snowmelt that refreezes in thermal contraction cracks that open in winter.

Ice-wedge stable isotopes at the Dmitry Laptev Strait (Northeast Siberian Arctic) – indications for Late Quaternary stratigraphy and paleoclimate [PDF]
Ice wedges are the most abundant type of ground ice in the ice-rich permafrost deposits of the Northeast Siberian Arctic. They are formed by the periodic repetition of frost cracking and subsequent crack filling and refreezing in spring, mostly by melt ...

In response to increasing Arctic temperatures, ice-rich permafrost landscapes are undergoing rapid changes. In permafrost lowlands, polygonal ice wedges are especially prone to degradation.

Special Issue: Recent advances (2008 – 2015) in the study of ground ice and cryostratigraphy [PDF]
Cryostratigraphy involves the description, interpretation and correlation of ground-ice 17 structures (cryostructures) and their relationship to the host deposits.

What is the minimum angle $ >0$ such that given any set of $ $-directional antennas (that is, antennas each of which can communicate along a wedge of angle $ $), one can always assign a direction to each antenna such that the resulting communication graph is connected?

Flow and retreat of the Late Quaternary Pine Island-Thwaites palaeo-ice stream, West Antarctica [PDF]
Multibeam swath bathymetry and sub-bottom profiler data are used to establish constraints on the flow and retreat history of a major palaeo-ice stream that carried the combined discharge from the parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet now occupied by the ...

Spatial variability of CO2 uptake in polygonal tundra: assessing low-frequency disturbances in eddy covariance flux estimates [PDF]
The large spatial variability in Arctic tundra complicates the representative assessment of CO2 budgets. Accurate measurements of these heterogeneous landscapes are, however, essential to understanding their vulnerability to climate change.

Coupling of Finite Element Method and Peridynamics to Simulate Ship-Ice Interaction
In this work, the finite element method (PD-FEM) coupling strategy is used to simulate ship-ice interaction. Two numerical benchmark tests are selected to validate the coupling approach and its program.

Nucleation- and Emergence-Limited Growth of Ice from Pores [PDF]
Nucleation of ice from vapor on atmospheric aerosols has been attributed to the condensation and freezing of supercooled water in small pores. Here we use wedge pores on mica to directly observe the growth of ice in confinement prior to the growth of ...
