Antarctic landfast sea ice (fast ice) is stationary sea ice that is attached to the coast,
grounded icebergs, ice shelves, or other protrusions on the continental shelf. Fast ice forms …

Landfast sea ice (fast ice) is an important though poorly understood component of the
cryosphere on the Antarctic continental shelf, where it plays a key role in atmosphere–ocean …

Our study provides information on the relationships between physical, chemical, and
biological properties of East Antarctic sea ice sampled as part of the Sea Ice Physics and …

Every year Antarctic sea ice undergoes a six‐fold change in ice‐covered area; it is one of
the largest seasonal signals on earth. It is however highly variable and frequently exposed …

As the world's ice diminishes in the face of climate change—from the dramatic decline in
Arctic sea ice, to thinning at the margins of both the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, to …

Over the past 37 years, satellite records show an increase in Antarctic sea ice cover that is
most pronounced in the period of sea ice growth. This trend is dominated by increased sea …

The Antarctic Peninsula region is undergoing rapid change: a warming in winter of almost 6°
C since 1950, the loss of six ice shelves, the retreat of 87% of the marine glaciers, and …

While Arctic sea ice is changing, new observation methods are developed and process
understanding improves, whereas gaps in observations and understanding evolve. Some …

Over the past 20 years the study of the frozen Arctic and Southern Oceans and sub-arctic
seas has progressed at a remarkable pace. This third edition of Sea Ice gives insight into the …

Basal melt of ice shelves is not only an important part of Antarctica's ice sheet mass budget,
but it is also the origin of platelet ice, one of the most distinctive types of sea ice. In many …
