With the occurrence of more frequent and intense climate change events, transportation
systems, including their infrastructure and operations become increasingly vulnerable …

Lake ice is an important feature of the physical landscape at northern latitudes. Not only
does the presence of lake ice help modulate weather and climate but it also plays an …

This chapter assesses the state of physical, biological and social knowledge concerning the
Arctic and Antarctic ocean and cryosphere, how they are affected by climate change, and …

Ice cover plays a critical role in physical, biogeochemical, and ecological processes in lakes.
Despite its importance, winter limnology remains relatively understudied. Here, we provide a …

Lake ice thickness (LIT) is important for regional hydroclimate systems, lake ecosystems,
and human activities on the ice, and is thought to be highly susceptible to global warming …

As the climate changes, ice characteristics and river-ice processes are altered, sometimes in
unexpected ways. A warmer climate will obviously result in less ice globally, and in a …

Millions of lakes from around the world freeze during winter. These frozen surfaces provide
essential ecosystem services that are vital to many northern communities. However, the …

Amplified climate warming has led to permafrost degradation and a shortening of the winter
season, both impacting cost-effective overland travel across the Arctic. Here we use, for the …

The availability and quality of quad-pol synthetic aperture radar (SAR) datasets has
increased substantially since the early 2000s, allowing for polarimetrically complete …

At high latitudes and altitudes one of the main controls on hydrological and biogeochemical
processes is the breakup and freeze-up of lake and river ice. This study uses 3510 time …
