Sea Ice Dynamics Drive Benthic Microbial Communities in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Climate change is driving dramatic variability in sea ice dynamics, a key driver in polar marine ecosystems. Projected changes in Antarctica suggest that regional warming will force dramatic shifts in sea ice thickness and persistence, altering sea ice ...

Sea ice dynamics across the Mid-Pleistocene transition in the Bering Sea [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Modelling studies propose sea ice to be one of the underlying mechanisms for the Mid-Pleistocene transition. Here, the authors show Mid-Pleistocene subarctic North Pacific sea ice dynamics based on biomarkers and biogenic opal accumulation rates ...

The bimodality of the East Siberian fast ice extent: mechanisms and changes
Annals of Glaciology, 2023 Using operational sea-ice maps, we provide first insight into the seasonal evolution of fast ice in the East Siberian Sea for the period between 1999 and 2021.

Winter Ice Dynamics in a Semi-Closed Ice-Covered Sea: Numerical Simulations and Satellite Data
Fluids, 2022 The White Sea is a small shallow sea covered by ice in winter. There are very few numerical models of this sea. For the ice-free sea, much data has been collected, but for winter only a small amount (satellite data only).

Effects of including the adjoint sea ice rheology on estimating Arctic Ocean–sea ice state [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2023 The adjoint assimilation method has been applied to coupled ocean and sea ice models for sensitivity studies and Arctic state estimations. However, the accuracy of the adjoint model is degraded by simplifications of the adjoint of the sea ice model ...

Patterns of wintertime Arctic sea-ice leads and their relation to winds and ocean currents [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 We use a novel sea-ice lead climatology for the winters of 2002/03 to 2020/21 based on satellite observations with 1 km2 spatial resolution to identify predominant patterns in Arctic wintertime sea-ice leads.

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.

Winter sea ice export from the Laptev Sea preconditions the local summer sea ice cover and fast ice decay [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 Ice retreat in the eastern Eurasian Arctic is a consequence of atmospheric and oceanic processes and regional feedback mechanisms acting on the ice cover, both in winter and summer.

Antarctic sea ice over the past 130 000 years – Part 1: a review of what proxy records tell us [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2022 Antarctic sea ice plays a critical role in the Earth system, influencing energy, heat and freshwater fluxes, air–sea gas exchange, ice shelf dynamics, ocean circulation, nutrient cycling, marine productivity and global carbon cycling.

Fluids, 2021 The marginal ice zone is a highly dynamical region where sea ice and ocean waves interact. Large-scale sea ice models only compute domain-averaged responses.
