Reconstructing Antarctic winter sea-ice extent during Marine Isotope Stage 5e [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2022 Environmental conditions during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e (130–116 ka) represent an important “process analogue” for understanding the climatic responses to present and future anthropogenic warming. The response of Antarctic sea ice to global warming

The Arctic sea ice cover of 2016: a year of record-low highs and higher-than-expected lows [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 The Arctic sea ice cover of 2016 was highly noteworthy, as it featured record low monthly sea ice extents at the start of the year but a summer (September) extent that was higher than expected by most seasonal forecasts.

The potential of sea ice leads as a predictor for summer Arctic sea ice extent [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 The Arctic sea ice extent throughout the melt season is closely associated with initial sea ice state in winter and spring. Sea ice leads are important sites of energy fluxes in the Arctic Ocean, which may play an important role in the evolution of ...

Sea-ice extent and its trend provide limited metrics of model performance [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 We examine how the evaluation of modelled sea-ice coverage against reality is affected by uncertainties in the retrieval of sea-ice coverage from satellite, by the usage of sea-ice extent to overcome these uncertainties, and by internal variability.

The early twentieth century warming and winter Arctic sea ice [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2012 The Arctic has featured the strongest surface warming over the globe during the recent decades, and the temperature increase has been accompanied by a rapid decline in sea ice extent.

Estimating summer sea ice extent in the Weddell Sea during the early 19th century [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2023 Over the past 3 decades, discordant trends in sea ice extent have been observed between the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Arctic sea ice extent has been characterised by a rapid decline, whereas Antarctic sea ice extent, while highly variable ...

Assessing trend and variation of Arctic sea-ice extent during 1979–2012 from a latitude perspective of ice edge [PDF]
Polar Research, 2014 Arctic sea-ice extent (in summer) has been shrinking since the 1970s. However, we have little knowledge of the detailed spatial variability of this shrinking.

Impacts of Observed Extreme Antarctic Sea Ice Conditions on the Southern Hemisphere Atmosphere
Atmosphere, 2022 The Antarctic sea ice has undergone dramatic changes in recent years, with the highest recorded sea ice extent in 2014 and the lowest in 2017. We investigated the impacts of the observed changes in these two extremes of Antarctic sea ice conditions on ...

An improved sea ice detection algorithm using MODIS: application as a new European sea ice extent indicator [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 The continued loss of sea ice in the Northern Hemisphere due to global warming poses a threat to biota and human activities, evidencing the necessity of efficient sea ice monitoring tools.
