Sea Ice Elevation in the Western Weddell Sea, Antarctica: Observations From Field Campaign

Earth and Space Science, 2022
Sea ice elevation is crucial in the characterization of three‐dimensional (3D) sea ice patterns, providing physical insights to advance sea ice dynamic models. Moreover, how sea ice elevation may be related to the ocean geophysical environment is still a

Arctic sea ice variation in the Northwest Passage in 1979–2017 and its response to surface thermodynamics factors

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2021
Sea ice conditions in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) play a key role in the navigation of the Northwest Passage (NWP). Limited by observed sea ice thickness data, the research of temporal and spatial variation of sea ice in the NWP is insufficient.

Exploring beneath the PIG Ice Shelf with the Autosub3 AUV [PDF]

, 2009
On 31st January 2009, two numbers: “range and bearing” flashing up on a laptop screen, indicated that Autosub3 had returned from its last mission beneath the Pine Island Glacier (PIG) Ice Shelf in the Western Antarctic.

Strategies for the Simulation of Sea Ice Organic Chemistry: Arctic Tests and Development

Geosciences, 2017
A numerical mechanism connecting ice algal ecodynamics with the buildup of organic macromolecules is tested within modeled pan-Arctic brine channels. The simulations take place offline in a reduced representation of sea ice geochemistry.

Higher-order statistical moments to analyse Arctic sea-ice drift patterns

Annals of Glaciology, 2020
Geophysical systems are often assumed to follow Gaussian probability density functions; however, deviations from Gaussian behaviour can shed light on the underlying dynamics.

An assessment of key model parametric uncertainties in projections of Greenland Ice Sheet behavior [PDF]

, 2012
Lack of knowledge about the values of ice sheet model input parameters introduces substantial uncertainty into projections of Greenland Ice Sheet contributions to future sea level rise.

The last glaciation of Shetland : local ice cap or invasive ice sheet? [PDF]

, 2014
Issue ISBN: 978-82-92-39488-5 This work is supported by the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of ScotlandThe question of whether the Shetland Islands were covered by an ice cap or by an ice sheet during the last glacial cycle (40–10 ka) remains ...

SAR deep learning sea ice retrieval trained with airborne laser scanner measurements from the MOSAiC expedition [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Automated sea ice charting from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been researched for more than a decade, and we are still not close to unlocking the full potential of automated solutions in terms of resolution and accuracy.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Airborne radar evidence for tributary flow switching in Institute Ice Stream, West Antarctica: implications for ice sheet configuration and dynamics [PDF]

, 2015
Despite the importance of ice streaming to the evaluation of West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) stability we know little about mid- to long-term dynamic changes within the Institute Ice Stream (IIS) catchment.
