Ice sheet extent and early deglacial history of the southwestern sector of the Greenland ice sheet [PDF]
The offshore and coastal geomorphology of southwest Greenland records evidence for the advance and decay of the Greenland Ice Sheet during the Last Glacial Maximum.

The dynamics of unstable waves in sea ice [PDF]
AbstractWave and sea ice properties in the Arctic and Southern Oceans are linked by feedback mechanisms, therefore the understanding of wave propagation in these regions is essential to model this key component of the Earth climate system. The most striking effect of sea ice is the attenuation of waves at a rate proportional to their frequency.

Rigorous Analysis and Dynamics of Hibler’s Sea Ice Model [PDF]
AbstractThis article develops for the first time a rigorous analysis of Hibler’s model of sea ice dynamics. Identifying Hibler’s ice stress as a quasilinear second-order operator and regarding Hibler’s model as a quasilinear evolution equation, it is shown that a regularized version of Hibler’s coupled sea ice model, i.e., the model coupling velocity ...

Role of Ice Dynamics in the Sea Ice Mass Balance [PDF]
Over the past decade, the Arctic Ocean and Beaufort Sea ice pack has been less extensive and thinner than has been observed during the previous 35 years [e.g., Wadhams and Davis, 2000; Tucker et al., 2001; Rothrock et al., 1999; Parkinson and Cavalieri, 2002; Comiso, 2002].

On the Damping Time Scale of EVP Sea Ice Dynamics
We propose to make the damping time scale, which governs the decay of pseudo‐elastic waves in the Elastic Viscous Plastic (EVP) sea‐ice solvers, independent of the external time step and large enough to warrant numerical stability for a moderate number ...

Sea-ice dynamics strongly promote Snowball Earth initiation and destabilize tropical sea-ice margins [PDF]
The Snowball Earth bifurcation, or runaway ice-albedo feedback, is defined for particular boundary conditions by a critical CO<sub>2</sub> and a critical sea-ice cover (SI), both of which are essential for evaluating hypotheses related to ...

In situ observations of wave attenuation by sea ice are required to develop and validate wave–ice interaction parameterizations in coupled wave models.

Improving the spatial distribution of modeled Arctic sea ice thickness [PDF]
The spatial distribution of ice thickness/draft in the Arctic Ocean is examined using a sea ice model. A comparison of model predictions with submarine observations of sea ice draft made during cruises between 1987 and 1997 reveals that the model has the

Observations of exponential wave attenuation in Antarctic sea ice during the PIPERS campaign
Quantifying the rate of wave attenuation in sea ice is key to understanding trends in the Antarctic marginal ice zone extent. However, a paucity of observations of waves in sea ice limits progress on this front.

Sea ice modulates the energy exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean through its kinematics. Marginal ice zone (MIZ) dynamics are complex and are not well resolved in routine observations.
