Capturing the interactions between ice sheets, sea level and the solid Earth on a range of timescales: a new “time window” algorithm [PDF]
Retreat and advance of ice sheets perturb the gravitational field, solid surface and rotation of the Earth, leading to spatially variable sea-level changes over a range of timescales O(100−6 years), which in turn feed back onto ice-sheet dynamics ...

Effects of sea ice and wind speed on phytoplankton spring bloom in central and southern Baltic Sea.
In this study, the effects of sea ice and wind speed on the timing and composition of phytoplankton spring bloom in the central and southern Baltic Sea are investigated by a hydrodynamic-biogeochemical model and observational data.

Ocean processes at the Antarctic continental slope [PDF]
The Antarctic continental shelves and slopes occupy relatively small areas, but, nevertheless, are important for global climate, biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Modeling of the northern hemisphere ice sheets during the last glacial cycle and glaciological sensitivity [PDF]
We present a new three-dimensional thermomechanically coupled ice sheet model of the northern hemisphere to reconstruct the Quaternary ice sheets during the last glacial cycle.

Stress and deformation characteristics of sea ice in a high-resolution, anisotropic sea ice model [PDF]
The drift and deformation of sea ice floating on the polar oceans is caused by the applied wind and ocean currents. Over ocean basin length scales the internal stresses and boundary conditions of the sea ice pack result in observable deformation patterns.

Implementation of a simple thermodynamic sea ice scheme, SICE version 1.0-38h1, within the ALADIN–HIRLAM numerical weather prediction system version 38h1 [PDF]
Sea ice is an important factor affecting weather regimes, especially in polar regions. A lack of its representation in numerical weather prediction (NWP) systems leads to large errors.

A Maxwell-elasto-brittle rheology for sea ice modelling
A new rheological model is developed that builds on an elasto-brittle (EB) framework used for sea ice and rock mechanics, with the intent of representing both the small elastic deformations associated with fracturing processes and the larger deformations

Effect of compressive loading on first-year sea-ice permeability
The permeability of sea ice can strongly affect the dissipation of wave energy into the ice pack. Sea-ice permeability is known to be impacted by the brine volume fraction and the blockage of flow pathways by the freezing of infiltrating lower salinity ...
