Over the past two decades, with recognition that the ocean's sea-ice cover is neither
insensitive to climate change nor a barrier to light and matter, research in sea-ice …

Abstract The Southern Ocean seasonal sea ice zone (SIZ) spring is characterized by sea ice
retreat and the development of phytoplankton blooms. Until recently, assessing SIZ blooms …

In this study, we present evidence that Antarctic and Arctic sea ice act as sink for
atmospheric CO2 during periods of snowmelt and surface flooding. The CO2 flux measured …

Seasonal cycling in carbon, alkalinity, and nutrients in landfast sea ice in Hangar Cove,
Adelaide Island, West Antarctic Peninsula, were investigated during winter, spring, and …

The novel concept of the review is a focus on the organisms living in the sea ice and what
mechanisms they have developed for their existence. The review describes the physical …

The precipitation of ikaite (CaCO 3⋅ 6H 2 O) in polar sea ice is critical to the efficiency of the
sea ice-driven carbon pump and potentially important to the global carbon cycle, yet the …

Rare CO 2 flux measurements from Arctic pack ice show that two types of ice contribute to
the release of CO 2 from the ice to the atmosphere during winter and spring: young, thin ice …

Sea ice provides a seasonal to multi‐year dynamic reservoir for particulates and solutes,
and supports various ecosystem processes that drive polar marine biogeochemistry. Initial …

Melt pond formation is a common feature of spring and summer Arctic sea ice, but the role
and impact of sea ice melt and pond formation on both the direction and size of CO 2 fluxes …

Abstract Knowledge on the relative effects of biological activity and precipitation/dissolution
of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) in influencing the air-ice CO 2 exchange in sea-ice-covered …
