AI sea ice forecasts for Arctic conservation: A case study predicting the timing of caribou sea ice migrations

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 2, April–June 2025.
This case study explores how new AI‐driven sea ice forecasts can support Arctic wildlife conservation. Focusing on the waterways south of Victoria Island (Nunavut, Canada), we show that predicting freeze‐up dates could help anticipate Dolphin and Union caribou sea ice crossing times weeks in advance.

Prediction of ice resistance of icebreaker during continuous icebreaking

open access: yesZhongguo Jianchuan Yanjiu, 2021
ObjectiveIn order to accurately assess the ice resistance experienced by an icebreaker during continuous icebreaking when sailing in a level ice zone, and understand the characteristics of different prediction methods, this paper uses the empirical formula method, numerical simulation method and ship model test method to evaluate an icebreaker's ...

Distribution of Arnoux's beaked whales (Berardius arnuxii)

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Arnoux's beaked whales (Berardius arnuxii) are generally considered to be uncommon to rare, and likely to prefer deep oceanic waters of the Southern Hemisphere. During many top‐predator surveys in the Southern Ocean since 1988 we did not sight the species.

Icebreakers

open access: yesNordic Theatre Studies
The Singing Revolution which led to the restoration of Estonian independence in 1991, was accompanied by a cultural ‘sexual revolution’. After the cessation of theatre censorship in 1988, cultural influences in repertoire shifted from East to West, allowing for the exploration of once-taboo subjects like gender and sexuality. This fostered modern queer

The Interannual Variability of Antarctic Fast‐Ice Thickness in McMurdo Sound and Connections to Climate

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 129, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Land‐fast sea‐ice (fast ice) in McMurdo Sound grows through heat loss to the atmosphere and through heat loss to the ocean due to the presence of supercooled water. In this paper, we present a fast‐ice thickness data set covering 1986–2022, providing a baseline of interannual variability in fast‐ice thickness.
