From Glacier to Coast: Seasonal Hydrographic Dynamics in the Ella Ø Fjord Complex, East Greenland
Abstract Greenland's ice loss is increasing across the ice sheet due to enhanced surface melting and accelerated glacier discharge, contributing to sea level rise and potentially altering ocean circulation and marine ecosystems. Fjords play a key role in this process by linking the ocean and ice sheet, but currently a limitation is that most fjords in ...

Abstract Snow on sea ice modulates the Earth's radiation budget and sea ice mass balance, yet satellite retrievals of Arctic snow depth remain subject to substantial algorithmic uncertainty. We develop a multi‐model machine learning (ML) framework for retrieving spring snow depth over Arctic sea ice from Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2).

Halogen-based reconstruction of Russian Arctic sea ice area from the Akademii Nauk ice core (Severnaya Zemlya) [PDF]
The role of sea ice in the Earth climate system is still under debate, although it is known to influence albedo, ocean circulation, and atmosphere–ocean heat and gas exchange.

Prioritizing Shark, Ray, and Chimaera Conservation in Rapidly Changing Polar Waters
Polar sharks, rays, and chimaeras face growing pressures from changing sea‐ice conditions, expanding fisheries, and limited protection. Our assessment highlights where critical habitats occur and how Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) can support more targeted conservation and fisheries management across the Arctic and Antarctic.

Numerical Modeling of Extreme Sea Levels on the Laptev Sea Coast
The present study is devoted to the analysis of extreme sea level oscillations of the Laptev Sea using the ADCIRC model. The numerical modeling is performed on a high-resolution grid and verified for sea level observations from three tide gauges. We have

Contrasting two major Arctic coastal polynyas: the role of sea ice in driving diel vertical migrations of zooplankton in the Laptev and Beaufort seas [PDF]
The diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton is one of the largest species migrations to occur globally and is a key driver of regional ecosystems and the marine carbon pump. Previously thought to be hampered by the extreme light regime prevailing in

Increased Frequency, Duration, and Area of Winter Polynyas North of Greenland in a Warming Climate
Abstract Polynyas play a crucial role in the polar marine ecosystems and climate system. Four winter polynya events north of Greenland have been observed, but the response of winter polynyas to climate warming remains unknown. This study investigates projected changes in winter polynyas in the Wandel Sea north of Greenland using the AWI‐CM3 climate ...

FloeNet: A Mass‐Conserving Global Sea Ice Emulator That Generalizes Across Climates
Abstract We introduce FloeNet, a graph neural network trained to emulate the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory global sea ice model, SIS2. FloeNet is a mass‐conserving model, emulating 6‐hr mass and area budget tendencies related to sea ice and snow‐on‐sea‐ice growth, melt, and advection.

Methane fluxes from the sea to the atmosphere across the Siberian shelf seas
The Laptev and East Siberian Seas have been proposed as a substantial source of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. During summer 2014, we made unique high‐resolution simultaneous measurements of CH4 in the atmosphere above, and surface waters of, the ...
