The “wide coverage of this thinner ice” means total Arctic sea ice volume for the month of February was the third lowest on record. The answer seems to lie in the ocean – more warm water getting up to ...

There is an increase of up to 15% in thickness and ice concentration in the Canadian Arctic and a 10% overall impact on the total sea-ice volume. Our paper describes the first implementation of ...

With continued anthropogenic warming, an ice-free Arctic (sea ice area <1 million km2) is inevitable. This Review outlines the various characteristics of an ice-free Arctic, highlighting that ...
