Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous, and considerable quantities prevail even in the Arctic;
however, there are large knowledge gaps regarding pathways to the North. To assess …

The Arctic climate system is rapidly transitioning into a new regime with a reduction in the
extent of sea ice, enhanced mixing in the ocean and atmosphere, and thus enhanced …

Snow is the most reflective, and also the most insulative, natural material on Earth.
Consequently, it is an integral part of the sea-ice and climate systems. However, the spatial …

Sea ice thickness is a critical variable, both as a climate indicator and for forecasting sea ice
conditions on seasonal and longer time scales. The lack of snow depth and density …

Snow on sea ice influences the Arctic energy and heat budgets and is therefore important for
Arctic climate studies. Methods to derive snow depth based on satellite‐borne microwave …

Repeated transects have become the backbone of spatially distributed ice and snow
thickness measurements crucial for understanding of ice mass balance. Here we detail the …

The large declines in Arctic sea-ice age and extent over the last decades could have altered
the diversity of sea-ice associated unicellular eukaryotes (referred to as sea-ice protists). A …

A large retreat of sea-ice in the 'stormy'Atlantic Sector of the Arctic Ocean has become
evident through a series of record minima for the winter maximum sea-ice extent since 2015 …

Snow‐depth distributions on sea ice have substantial impacts on winter ice growth and
summer ice melt. There are two types of wind‐related snow distributions in this environment …

In recent years, sea‐ice conditions in the Arctic Ocean changed substantially toward a
younger and thinner sea‐ice cover. To capture the scope of these changes and identify the …
